Bug#479352: xinit: startx should use /bin/sh



Package: xinit
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: whishlist

Hi,

please use /bin/sh for startx. I don't see any problems and I've changed
the #! line at me and have no problems.

Rational: dash doen't have the dependencies on libncurses and libdl and
  doesn't keep so much files open like bash does. Often these
  dependencies block an remount readonly of / and /usr.

Bye, Jörg.
