>Description:
if clear_tmp_enable is YES, then /etc/rc kindly removes
/tmp/.X*-lock and /tmp/.X11-unix/*
But - if clea_tmp_enable isn't yes; then these don't get
removed; causing X11 startup to fail on reboot.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I suggest the following diff to /etc/rc; which always removes
those files. It's arguable that if the user didn't set
clear_tmp_enable to YES; he indicates he wants these files;
but I don't believe the intent of clear_tmp_enable includes
preventing X11 from restarting...
[The best fix would likely be to get XFree86 to place the
files in /var/run.]
This is a context diff to /etc/rc:
