Just .startxwinrc, and the changes were explained in the announcement.
The information is contained within the announcement, but it is a bit
difficult to figure out what to do from just the list of changes. A more
detailed step-by-step guide, preferably as part of the FAQ would be very
much appreciated.
I can't be everyone's personal IT department. I believe the information
in the announcement contains sufficient information for users to make
the necessary changes, but the most important part would be the new
requirements of ~/.startxwinrc.
ssh -X hasn't been supported since X11R7.4 way back in 2008 (see the
FAQ for details).
I see, but PuTTY which apparently uses insecure forwards has worked for
many years all the way up to 1.3.2-1.
Then please provide complete details in a separate thread.
I am not going to revert the recent changes, which are important and
long overdue. If any has constructive suggestions for incremental
improvements thereto, they will be duly considered, but going
backwards is not the solution.
OK, I am a bit disappointed, but I do have some suggestions. How would
you prefer I post them? In this thread or a new one? All together or one
post per suggestion?
Please start a new thread.
That won't be necessary. As a rolling distribution without stable
releases, these kind of changes in UX happen from time to time.
That's what announcements are for.
Are you saying it is inappropriate to discuss or that you personally
don't see value in this?
There is simply no point.
