Thanks for the patch, but the reason isn't being fixed isn't because it's difficult. It's because I disagree on design grounds with the idea. A user X session file should *replace* the system's default X session, not augment it. However, local admins can disagree, and that is why the scripts that control the system default X session in Debian are "conffiles", modifiable by the local administrator, whose changes will be preserved by the packaging system across upgrades. -- G.
