Bug#297003: startx: use Debian alternatives instead of hardcoded paths



Hi,

martin f krafft <madduck@debian.org> (26/02/2005):
> startx uses hardcoded paths to X and xterm rather than the
> corresponding Debian defaults (using the alternatives system or
> debconf). The attached patch fixes that. Please consider applying it
> to the next release.

just for reference, nowadays, your patch mostly boils down to updating
the default client, from xterm to x-terminal-emulator. That could be
done at build-time:
| Makefile.am:    -DXTERM=@XTERM@ \
| configure.ac:DEFAULT_XTERM=xterm
| configure.ac:    AS_HELP_STRING([--with-xterm=XTERM], [Path to xterm]),

KiBi.
