source scripts from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/10.0.2

The xinit system is used to configure X11. For this, environment variables are
set. To make this more configurable for other RPMs, a directory
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ has been added in the past, to place additional
scripts in there.

However, while /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc sources /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common,
the scripts from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ are executed, not sourced. The
result is, that environment variables set there are not passed to the
X11-session.

An example, where this fails is the RPM libcanberra-gtk, that sets GTK_MODULES.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install libcanberra-gtk
2.start a X11 session
3.check if GTK_MODULES is set
Actual Results:  
environment variables set in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ are not available in X11

Expected Results:  
environment variables set in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ should be available in
X11
