Package: hibernate
Version: 1.12-1
Severity: normal

XosdSettings is subject to quoting issues. In the xstatus script, it is
set to:

--font '-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--*-120-*-*-c-*-*-*' ...

But in the example in hibernate.conf, it's set to:

--font -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--*-120-*-*-c-*-*-

If this example is uncommented, the on screen display may not work,
becuse the font name is not quoted, and the asterisks in it are passed
through the shell and can glob. With at least some shells (such as mine)
the attempt to glob fails and it fails to run osd_cat.

Adding quotes to the example in hibernate.conf is probably the easiest
fix.
