This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. This functionality, with the exception of Failsafe, is now provided by the xorg-x11-xinit-session package. For Failsafe you can create a new desktop file to provide such a session. Ah, the xorg-x11-xinit-session RPM is not part of the RHEL6 Beta release. For a "Beta" release, it's not very functionally complete dropping hundreds of RPMs. I hope Red Hat considers adding a package to restore the failsafe functionality. It's used very infrequently, but is very helpful when it is needed. |
