Package: xinit
Version: 1.0.7-2
Severity: normal

For those of us who choose not to start X every boot using xdm, we
don't get the X session being logged in the wtmp database like it does
from xdm.

Because X can be started and the parent shell subsequently exited, the
lack of an entry in wtmp gives the sysadmin a false impression that
noone is actually logged into the system when it comes time for them
to do maintenance and rebooting.

xdm has its mechanism in /etc/X11/xdm/{Xstartup,Xreset} to log the
details using sessreg - it would be good if startx could make use of a
similar scheme too.
