Description Andrew Ziem 2007-11-24 18:29:05 UTC 
gdmXnestchooser.c, the function make_us_an_exec_vector(), which uses the variable host, is called before the variable host is defined.  Therefore, the wrong arguments are passed to Xnest/Xephyr.

Comment 2 Brian Cameron 2007-11-26 23:07:22 UTC 
Fixed in 2.20 branch.  Thanks.  I think you mean "indirect_host" instead of "host" which is the variable used by make_us_an_exec_vector that needs to be set up before calling that function.
