Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Currently, /etc/X11/Xsession allows the user to specify her own
~/.xsession, disabling a big part of Debian's Magic.

Please consider adding a hook for ~/.xsession-local, allowing a user
to specify her own script to be executed as part, but not replacing,
Debian's xsession. This comes extremely handy if one wants to have
$HOME/bin in the X path, for example.

This script does what I mean:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xfree86-common_user-xsession-local
# $Id:$

# This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed.

# this probably needs to go into the main Xsession script for clarity
USERXSESSIONLOCAL=$HOME/.xsession-local
ALTUSERXSESSIONLOCAL=$HOME/.Xsession-local

# If the user has a ~/.xsession-local, source it here and continue
if grep -qs ^allow-user-local-xsession "$OPTIONFILE"; then
  for XSESSIONLOCALFILE in "$USERXSESSIONLOCAL" "$ALTUSERXSESSIONLOCAL"; do
    if [ -e "$XSESSIONLOCALFILE" ]; then
      if [ -x "$XSESSIONLOCALFILE" ]; then
        . $XSESSIONLOCALFILE
	break
      fi
    fi
  done
fi
