Bug Description

Binary package hint: imwheel

It would be very nice if we could get the Xsession script that comes with imwheel to source $HOME/.imwheel-settings.conf if it exists. This way the user can remap mouse buttons and enable imwheel without having to edit anything in /etc. Here is what I changed my /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60imwheel_start-imwheel to:

# Starts the imwheel process.

USER_IMWHEEL_CONF=$HOME/.imwheel-startup.conf

. /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf
if [ -r "$USER_IMWHEEL_CONF" ]; then
    . "$USER_IMWHEEL_CONF"
fi

if [ "$IMWHEEL_START" = "1" ]; then
    /usr/bin/imwheel "${IMWHEEL_PARAMS}"
fi

INVALID: Each user can already create a .imwheelrc file in $HOME . Is your proposition any different ?
