Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.5+6 Severity: wishlist I'm using gdm and gnome, but I would like to be able to run a shell script as part of session startup, in order to a) Set environment variables etc. b) Start a lot of programs that I don't want to have to manually configure gnome to start. I want these programs whether or not I'm in gnome. Currently, .xsessionrc is started at step 40 of Xsession.d. This allows for use A, but not really for use B. In particular, I had my .xsessionrc starting a terminal, and just wasted a thourougly embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out why, despite gpg-agent being started, GPG_AGENT_INFO was not set. (Not thinking to start a second terminal and try it there.) Some solution that would let me accomplish B would be appreciated. At the moment, the only way to do it seems to be to make one's window manager into a wrapper script. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.35 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. x11-common suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/X11/Xsession [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/X11/Xsession' -- debconf information excluded -- see shy jo
