/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession is needed by package gdm xinitrc >= 0:3.33-1 is needed by package gdm gdm-2.8.0.4-8
The generic Red Hat Xsession script is now owned by the xorg-x11-xinit package, which contains: Provides: xinitrc = 5.0.0-1 The reason it was kept in the xinit package instead of being coupled with xdm is twofold: 1) The 'xinitrc' and 'Xsession' scripts used to share a lot of code which got out of sync very often as a bugfix was applied to one file, but not the other. I split out their common code into 'xinitrc-common' which both of them source. It is easiest to maintain them in one package rather than two. 2) I believe both gdm and kdm use xdm's Xsession script. It is better to have it in the xinit package, so that gdm/kdm do not have to have a hard dependency on xdm for the script to be installed. That coupled with the above virtual provide I mentioned, means gdm/kdm should work fine by doing 'Requires: xinitrc', at least for the time being. Note however, that the monolithic tree with xinitrc, has a number of files with hard coded paths set in /usr/X11R6, whereas the new xorg-x11-xinit package has all of the paths set to /usr. If this is a problem for gdm or kdm, I can review the scripts and have them check /usr/bin first, and fall back to looking in /usr/X11R6.
