Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-5
Severity: normal


Xfree86 config files were left behind in /etc/X11/Xsession.d

As a result: they do not belong to any more packages; and ssh-agent is
launched twice (and various wrappers could have strange effects). Plus,
it is not elegant.

I do not know where is the right place to clean this mess (it should
have been made when the x11-* files were created).

Maybe simply deleting them, or sed'ing them so as to render them
inactive is the solution. But it will probably require to be post-etch.

As a workaround:
cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d
rm *xfree86*

These files do not seem to be conffiles so it's not easy for us to remove
them only if they have not been modified. Also, I checked the upgrade from
sarge to etch followed by purging xfree86-common, all these files were
removed as expected.

There was probably a leak in some earlier packages and it's too late to fix
these sarge->etch upgrade. So I am just closing this bug, sorry guys.

Note to people reading this bug: you can safely remove all
  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*xfree*
the same functionality is provided by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*x11*
