Hi!
Currently, /etc/X11/Xsession allows the user to specify her own
~/.xsession, disabling a big part of Debian's Magic.
Please consider adding a hook for ~/.xsession-local, allowing a user
to specify her own script to be executed as part, but not replacing,
Debian's xsession. This comes extremely handy if one wants to have
$HOME/bin in the X path, for example.
This script does what I mean:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xfree86-common_user-xsession-local
# $Id:$
# This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed.
# this probably needs to go into the main Xsession script for clarity
USERXSESSIONLOCAL=$HOME/.xsession-local
ALTUSERXSESSIONLOCAL=$HOME/.Xsession-local
# If the user has a ~/.xsession-local, source it here and continue
if grep -qs ^allow-user-local-xsession "$OPTIONFILE"; then
for XSESSIONLOCALFILE in "$USERXSESSIONLOCAL" "$ALTUSERXSESSIONLOCAL"; do
if [ -e "$XSESSIONLOCALFILE" ]; then
if [ -x "$XSESSIONLOCALFILE" ]; then
. $XSESSIONLOCALFILE
break
fi
fi
done
