Package: xfce4-session Version: 4.4.2-6 Severity: minor If /usr/games is not in the $PATH, as it is not for root, then xfce4-tips does not work.
If root logs in to a newly installed machine then xfce4-tips runs automatically and it is somewhat disconcerting to have a blank tip window displayed. Running xfce4-tips from a terminal shows the problem: sh: fortune: command not found Shouldn't xfce4-tips explicity either set the PATH or call /usr/games/fortune rather than just fortune when its calling a program that may very well not be in the user's $PATH? If you need more info let me know.
