Hi
Reporter of https://bugs.gentoo.org/270250 suggests (via his patch), that
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ should be utilized like "autorun" and that
xinitrc.d/* should be sourced by startkde script (and presumably any other DE
initialization script as well).
Judging by location it should belong rather to xinit (and be sourced somewhere
in initrc maybe), yet, this directory is provided by dbus and at least on my
box only contains script to launch dbus session instance (in user mode, so
possibly could be utilized by KDE - I have no idea whether there is any point
in launching user dbus session for any other DE).
So the questions are still valid for me:
- what's the purpose of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
- what kind of applications are supposed to use it
- what else (apart from mentioned dbus launch) is expected to land there
Everything that needs to run scripts at X start-up puts those scripts in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/. Also, ConsoleKit places files there too, but
makes them non-executable and the files claim they will be sourced
rather than executed (/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90-consolekit).
Maybe you should ask an X.Org list about this.
