Package: xorg Version: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 Severity: important If the X binary wrapper runs into problems when nicing the X process, it will spew disruptive messages to stderr that cause interaction problems with whatever tried to invoke X. For example, the proper behaviour of the X '-showDefaultModulePath' commandline argument is to output a path to stderr. With the wrapper, situations like that might happen:
# /usr/bin/X -showDefaultModulePath X: warning; process set to priority -2 instead of requested priority 0 /usr/lib/xorg/modules It also causes '-showDefaultModulePath' to be unusable by a non-privileged user.
