Bug#527139: /etc/X11/Xsession: does not prevent X server reset during session setup
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.3+18
Severity: normal
File: /etc/X11/Xsession
Running
/etc/X11/Xsession
does the X session setup and starts a session.
However, it looks like the X server resets between merging ~/.Xresources
and starting the final application.
the workaround is to start an application beforehand like
xmag&
/etc/X11/Xsession
It may be possible that another script is normally used to do that but
skimming through Xsession(5) does not reveal any reference to such
script.
If I were to write/package another display manager I would likely need
the Xsession script to perform correctly in absence of any other X client.
