Package: xinit
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal

Hello.
Whenever I want to start a program with xinit, I have to install xterm for it to work.
The man page says xterm should be used when no other client is specified in the command line.
Unfortunatelly xinit seems to require xterm even for launching other clients.

Thank you for your work.

Best regards
Mateusz Poszwa

Probably not; the man page mentions that. If you have any doubts, follow
the cptr and client_given variables in src/xinit.c:main().

Closing accordingly.
