Nope, unless xdm/kdm run an X client as root as the first thing they do. I was talking with lofi@ on irc about this. .ICE-unix is something used by clients, not the server. The problem is that clients don't necessarily have root which is needed to make the directory properly. You can't rely on the server to do it, because apps are often not run on systems with a server, and certainly not a running one. This directory needs to be made during startup by the system, i.e. not X.Org or XFree86. The only question is whether we're going to put the rc script in a common port, each of the ports that needs it, or the base system. I lean towards #3. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
