Either Joshua Baergen or I are the right people to work with on this. |

You can catch up with us on IRC in #gentoo-desktop as Josh_B and |
10 |
dberkholz to discuss this in more detail. |

I haven't had time to look through your patch, but I do want to explain |
13 |
the philosophy. Our xinit has diverged way too far from upstream. What |
14 |
needs to happen is for us to first determine what the "correct" behavior |
15 |
is, IOW what upstream does. Next, we need to fix our stuff to do that. |
16 |
Then, we need to make any necessary changes to add functionality like |
17 |
xinitrc.d, and create patches to merge those changes upstream. |

The goal is to create a modernized, upstreamable setup that reduces our |
20 |
maintainance and patch size to near zero and allows other distributions |
21 |
to also benefit from our work. I think Red Hat also has some nice xinit |
22 |
patches, they forked off their own version a few years back. |
