Current dir added as first element of LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Marko Lindqvist]

Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx

At least in Intrepid Ibex, xorg-driver-fglrx version 2:8.543-0ubuntu4

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/10fglrx has line
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib32"

When LD_LIBRARY_PATH is previously empty, as it usually is, this results in ":/usr/lib32" i.e. empty first element which is same as current directory.

This LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported to user X-session, most notably to xterm environment.

Thanks for this report. It looks like this regression was introduced in Intrepid (and still exists in Jaunty). We'll work to get this corrected.

Can confirm kees' intrepid fglrx package works on Intrepid with an r6xx card, solves original problem, and I didn't spot any major regressions offhand. totem plays, compiz runs, glxgears glx'es.
