New commits: commit 9b1d91483680a3e9282bffb0aca4a08bd533e36e Author: Josselin Mouette <[email protected]> Date: Thu Nov 24 22:58:20 2011 +0100 debian/local/Xsession.d/35x11-common_xhost-local: add a new script to the default X session. It will give access to the running X server to the logged on user. This is useful for gdm3 which does not give access to $XAUTHORITY outside the session, but can also be of use for other display managers. Closes: #586685. diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index f2198f9..320064e 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +xorg (1:7.6+10) UNRELEASED; urgency=low + + [ Josselin Mouette ] + * debian/local/Xsession.d/35x11-common_xhost-local: add a new script + to the default X session.
