Bug#497199: xfce4-session: xfce4-tips doesn't work for root

2008-08-30 Thread Alexis Huxley
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.
