If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806120 Title: ~/.xsession does not get run but Xsession(5) still says it does Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Xsession(5) still says that $HOME/.xsession can contain commands for invoking X clients. But in natty $HOME/.xsession does not get run. (/etc/X11/Xsession sources all the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup only sources the user's .xsession if the STARTUP variable has not been set. But it has been set, to "gnome-session --session=ubuntu".)
