Description Alexandre Oliva 2006-07-23 21:16:15 UTC
Description of problem:
After the xinit upgrade a couple of days ago, I thought it was xinit that had
broken this along with the other failure it introduced, but I actually tried to
downgrade xorg-x11-xinit to the earlier functional version, and it didn't
restore the automatic execution of .Xclients on login, which used to prompt me
for the passwords to my SSH keys and for a vpnc login in an xterm.  Since it's
not xinit, I thought it might be gdm, but I haven't actually verified this
suspicion.  If you think it's something else, please reassign.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.15.6-13
xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.2-6.fc6

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a custom ~/.Xclients-default that say opens an xterm
2.Log in on gdm

Actual results:
xterm does not start

Expected results:
It should

Comment 1 Alexandre Oliva 2006-07-24 00:34:25 UTC
Err...  Sorry, I'd changed my default session to Gnome, instead of System
default, when the broken xinit failed, and I forgot to change it back.  When I
did, .Xclients-default ran again.
