Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With the latest update to sid x11 released a day or so ago (1:7.7+8) x 
fails to start.

This has be traced to /usr/bin/X (wrapper for X) is not configured, and 
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc refers to this.

Now I've hacked /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc to point to /usr/bin/Xorg

This means I can start X - but only as root, as not surprising permissions
to start X where in the /usr/bin/X wrapper.

Any ideas of a better fix? I could just create a link with the right 
sticky bit set - but seems better to fix at source.

Thanks,

David
