Bug ID: 12282
Summary: [PATCH] xflock4: Do not override PATH with hardcoded
value.

patch file
xflock4 clobbers the PATH environment variable with a hardcoded value. /bin
and /usr/bin may be common locations to find binaries on FHS distros, but it is
not always so. I am a maintainer for the GNU GuixSD project, which does not
conform to the FHS, and we do not have /usr/bin or anything in /bin except
/bin/sh. So, I think the sanest thing to do in this script is not touch PATH
at all. It should be properly configured before the xflock4 process is
launched.
I noticed this bug on 4.12.0. The attached patch is against the current master
branch.
Thanks!
