Package: xbase
Version: 3.2-6.1

The current X places its lock file into /tmp:

$ ls -lda /tmp/.X*
-r--r--r--   1 root     root           11 Jun 21 12:09 /tmp/.X0-lock
drwxrwxrwt   2 root     root         1024 Jun 21 12:09 /tmp/.X11-unix
$

According to the Linux Filesystem Structure (FSSTND) lock files should go
into /var/lock .

Note, that I don't where we should place the socket /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 .
However, /tmp is probably not the best place for it. 

If someone knows, where to put the socket, please tell me too, since my
mysql package currently places its socket into /tmp, too :-)


Thanks,

Chris

Indeed. In the meanwhile, closing this bug report.
