Yeah, I have been meaning to get the wrapper into upstream for some time
now. As I am one of the few devs to care for the rdesktop side of the
house, I must say I have not had the chance to push a wrapper upstream.
Personally, instead of calling all the external things like "dirname"
and "basename", a simple:
program="${0%%\.wrapper}"
might be cleaner. Plus, we should add a flag to not have it loop, as
the ltsp-cluster folk might prefer to have X reinitialize so it can grab
a new screen script directive upon xinit (which I believe is what it
does).
I'll add this to my to-do, to make sure we have something upstream
worked out for this, because I know we have helped a bunch of folks in
#ltsp implement this manually.
Cheers,
