| Summary: X Window System initializer | |
The xinit program is used to start the X Window System server and a first client program on systems that are not using a display manager such as xdm or in environments that use multiple window systems. When this first client exits, xinit will kill the X server and then terminate.

* Sun Mar 09 2025 Stefan Dirsch <sndirsch@suse.com>
- Update to version 1.4.4
This release fixes regresssions introduced by the shell script modernization
in the 1.4.3 release, primarily seen on systems without the "mcookie" helper
program to make xauth cookies, and thus using openssl or /dev/urandom to
make cookies instead. Thanks to Peter Tribble of the Tribblix illumos distro
for reporting the issue and testing the fixes.

gnome-session (and probably other DEs or programs, except of
Plasma) from launching a new D-Bus session, while systemd has
already launched its own. Unsetting it broke user systemd
services that use D-Bus (e.g. PulseAudio), because X uses
another D-Bus session (boo#1108549)
