Bug#594001: Patch slightly improved + Questions

[Alexander Kurtz]

Hi,

I have attached a slightly improved version of my original patch. It is
still a hack but at least it won't just kill PA now without asking
questions.

I have also thought about a more proper solution and have come up with a
(IMHO) relatively good idea: I would basically write a new PA module
called `module-x11-connect', which connects to X in a new thread when
loaded and will crash PA once X is no longer available just like any
other X application, see `basic_idea.c' for - well - a basic idea of
just that.

Anyway, before I continue working on this I'd like to get some opinions
of the maintainters/upstream:
a) Do you agree that PA should exit together with X if it was started
   as a session daemon?
b) If the answer is yes, which is the best way to accomplish this?

As always I am open for ideas and absolutely don't mind  criticism!

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
