[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#526140: $DISPLAY being set in login

[Dale Harris]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.3.1-1
Severity: normal


I typically log in on a regular virtual console, and then start X up via
startx.  I've noticed that in the past month or so $DISPLAY has been set
to localhost:0.0 when X windows is not even running.  I've been trying 
to trace this down to discover where this is set, but I haven't found it
yet.  So I may indeed be blaming the wrong package.  Why does this need to
be set?  It's frankly kind of annoying, especially for anyone that uses
keychain to set up their ssh environment.
