(In reply to comment #10)
> Hrm. What about the comments from Loic?
I don't think our comments conflict. Loic was concerned about adding dependencies, and I was suggesting making them soft rather than hard dependencies.
The only real concern that I see is Michael's:
> Typically xinit is not run as a root, so the user does not have enough
> permissions to create a session with parameters.
> I question weather or not we should try to move this call into X? X is setuid
> root.
I admit that I did not read that comment the first time through as it was collapsed in my view of the bug. On darwin, we trigger a LaunchDaemon in startx to do some privileged actions for xinit (like creating /tmp/.X11-unix). How is this currently handled on other OSs? Still as an init script?
