--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-924 2005-09-23 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : xinitrc Version : 4.0.18.1 Release : 1 Summary : The default startup script for the X Window System. Description : The xinitrc package contains the xinitrc file, a script which is used to configure your X Window System session or to start a window manager. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: The xinitrc package is a collection of startup scripts and config files for the X Window System. A new feature was added to the xinitrc package in FC-4 to allow 3rd party window managers to be able to drop in their own custom startup shell scripts, which would get autodetected and used by xinitrc/Xsession automatically if present for a given windowmanager or desktop environment. This feature was unused in Fedora Core 4 itself however, and recently a flaw was discovered in the implementation. This update fixes this feature of the xinitrc scripts to allow 3rd party window managers and desktop environments to easily integrate with the X startup process. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Fri Sep 23 2005 Mike A.
