Bug 61852 – startxfce4: X listens on tcp

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Geoff 2004-08-26 13:27:12 UTC]

The /usr/bin/startxfce4 script calls xinit with the wrong parameters.  It (improperly) starts the X server listening to tcp

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




The proper call would be this:

  if [ -x $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc ]; then
        exec xinit $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc -- -nolisten tcp$*
  else
        exec xinit /etc/xfce4/xinitrc -- -nolisten tcp$*
  fi

Anybody out there? Is this even relevant still?

nolisten-tcp.patch

Patch for xfce-utils-4.2.3 and xfce-utils-4.3.90.1.

[Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2006-06-05 15:15:09 UTC]

And for both ebuilds,

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd ${S}
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/nolisten-tcp.patch
}

I'll post these as patches too.
