Another reason why it might be a good idea to ship that as a package separate from x11-common is, that as you mentioned, not all display manager might support that ExecStart=default feature. Only those that do could decide to add a Recommend or Depends on that new xsession-default package. If there is some agreement on this, I could prepare a patch for src:xorg which adds such a new xsession-default package. I think src:xorg would be the right source package for building such a package. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
