Subject: [gentoo-desktop] purpose of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/

1 Hi

3 Reporter of https://bugs.gentoo.org/270250 suggests (via his patch), that
4 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ should be utilized like "autorun" and that
5 xinitrc.d/* should be sourced by startkde script (and presumably any other DE
6 initialization script as well).
7 Judging by location it should belong rather to xinit (and be sourced somewhere
8 in initrc maybe), yet, this directory is provided by dbus and at least on my
9 box only contains script to launch dbus session instance (in user mode, so
10 possibly could be utilized by KDE - I have no idea whether there is any point
11 in launching user dbus session for any other DE).
12 So the questions are still valid for me:
13 - what's the purpose of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
14 - what kind of applications are supposed to use it
15 - what else (apart from mentioned dbus launch) is expected to land there
