> Find some maintainers for X in Debian :)
Do not know how to do that, but I do know how to make a patch
implementing the change I want. This patch implement the Xreset.d
framework. When it is in place, the next step is to get the display
manager maintainers to use it, ie get their own Xreset script to use
/etc/X11/Xreset.
With Debian Edu, we need a way to run stuff as root when a user log
out. We did consider pam, but pam modules are running as the user
itself during logout, and do not allow all the operations we want to
do during logout.
Happy hacking,
