Ok, so GDM is not meant to source .xinitrc. Notwithstanding this, it worked in Ibex. Was there a link from .xsession to .xinitrc ?
I have a few xsession errors (like xmodmap), could this cause somme breakage in the sourcing or simply some rule is being enforced that .xinitrc is no more sourced (as despite all, it was ). -- Jaunty won't source xinitrc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
