Subject: Bug#3267: Unqualified hostnames in rstart

Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2-9

The man page for rstart says:

       The $DISPLAY environment variable is passed.  If it starts
       with a colon, the local hostname is prepended.  The  local
       domain  name should be appended to unqualified host names,
       but isn't.

I think that replacing the line:
  :*)     disp="`hostname`$DISPLAY"

with:

  :*)      disp="`hostname --long`$DISPLAY

would fix the problem. Alternatively -f or --fqdn could be used. I'm not
sure which is more likely to be portable.
