Description Erik Forsberg cendio 2007-05-24 11:41:48 CEST 
In a komintern discussion that starts with text 299382, we came to the conclusion that files in .d-directories (xstartup.d, xlogout.d etc) that are not executable should probably not be run. The exception to this rule is files that are named <something>.sh, but they are not executed - they are sourced, so that's OK.

To confuse administrator's less, tl-run-xstartup.d et. al. should probably print a message with reason about ignored files.

It's unclear what the practical problem is here, and we have not seen any customer reports. Closing.
