package: xfce4-session Version: 4.10.1-8 Severity: wishlist
README.Debian has a nice section entitled "Running Xfce from the console", which was written for Wheezy as a result of #658284: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658284 This advice does not to be appear applicable under Jessie's default init system. However, the changelog for xinit_1.3.3-1 has * 10-startx-Under-Linux-start-X-on-the-current-VT.patch, 11-startx-Pass-vtX-as-long-as-the-user-did-not-specify-.patch: By default start the server on the current VT, this is necessary to avoid logind to see the startx session as inactive (Closes: #743015) Basically, startx just works and nothing should have to be done for the session to be active. I'd suggest replacing the present text with a short note on this behaviour with logind. Or maybe nothing is needed at all?
