Details

Description:

When you run `startx' the X server starts, but no notion's interface is not displayed. I.e. a bare terminal run as if no window manager is present at all (though the notion process is visible in `pstree' output). The content of `.xinitrc' is as follows:

[start of .xinitrc]
notion &
exec xterm
[end of .xinitrc]

Xorg.0.log doesn't seem to contain anything useful (attached).

Steps to reproduce:
This behavior may be reproduced on a virtualbox as follows (on both architectures).

1. Install a bare system as usual (I used `pacstrap /mnt base grub').
2. Install (via `pacman -S') the following packages: xorg-server xorg-xinit xf86-video-vesa xterm notion
3. (As any user) run the following to populate .xinitrc: `(echo "notion &"; echo exec xterm) >.xinitrc'
4. Run `startx'

Expected image: the whole display is split into two notion frames (with their headers visible); xterm window occupying the left frame.
Actual image: the xterm window stuck in the upper-left quadrant of the screen with absolutely no window frame visible; the rest of the display is black.
This task depends upon

Also, I tried installing notion directly from the latest source (http://sourceforge.net/projects/notion/files/notion-3-2013030200-src.tar.bz2/download) -- everything seem to work.

Hi. The log's attached.

EDIT: actually attachhed the file.

probably you need to copy /etc/notion to ~/.notion

That particular solution seemed to work, actually.

I also forced myself to look at the PKGBUILD and tried to understand the problem, and I seem to have found a fix (see the attached diff; relative to 20131219-2). If you apply the diff and build/install the package, then it seems to properly find the configs at `/etc/notion' (To check this I simply removed `/etc/notion' and tried to start notion -- the log is attached).

EDIT: also trying `/etc/notion/...' seems to be the behavior of the previous version of the package (http://seblu.net/a/arm/2013/12/18/community/os/i686/notion-20130422-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz).
