Jose's patches for the x11 ports look good to me, but xorg's primary maintainer isn't too hot about a ports-based solution, IIRC, and thus stalling things. Portmgr also knows about them, but I don't know if portmgr feels responsible. In any case, this issue should be fixed correctly, and adding mkdirs/chmods to arbitrary startup scripts for diverse window managers and desktop environments is not the right way - even Jose's PRs or a default, base-system-created socketdir wouldn't be the real fix FWIW - Xorg introduced nothing but a plain blatant bug into libICE and relies on packagers and OS vendors to cover up for it - getting a fix into Xorg is probably really beyond the allowable timeframe though. That's why I myself am inclined towards implementing Jose's PRs, they put the workaround where the bug is. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
