[X2Go-Dev] Bug#958: Xsession startup: LD_LIBRARY_PATH in STARTUP var breaks Debian/Ubuntu/Mint session startups

Package: xserver-xsession
Severity: important
Version: 4.0.1.19
Several /etc/X11/Xsession.d scripts on Debian and Ubuntu (and other
derivatives) fail (don't get executed), because they try to detect a
variable $BASESTARTUP from $STARTUP which gets set during the Xsession
startup mechanism.
The detection code expects the session command (mate-session,
startkde, xfce4-session, etc.) as the first element in $STARTUP when
splitting the $STARTUP string at every blank.
As x2goruncommand prepends a LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the STARTUP command
(for enabling Xinerama in X2Go sessions), this distro-specific
detection mechanism fails.
Why report this issue to X2Go then (and not to Debian). Easy
reasoning... With nx-libs 3.6.x, the Xinerama code will be completely
rewritten and it won't be necessary to set a customer LD_LIBRARY_PATH
anymore. Thus, we should make sure, your X2Go Xsession startups get
aligned with distro-specific expectations.
