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.

Hi,

I've got a few hundreds reasons to ask if submitters still have issue
and/or still care before looking too much into a bug. Hundreds bugs.

Blah, what I meant.

$ head -5 /etc/X11/Xsession
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/X11/Xsession
#
# global Xsession file -- used by display managers and xinit (startx)

Really, display managers and xinit/startx users should be able to
start a first client, and/or pass -noreset.

Closing this bug accordingly.
