What is done in different systems seems to be very variable, alas. I did
put some discussion of X in section 4.5 of the manual in the hope of
making life a bit easier. I'm not sure there's much else I can do.

Pass. I have no personal experience of Linux at all. What I have learned
from distributing Exim is that there seems to be a lot of variation in
this area too, and it has been the greatest cause of problems in setting
