Bug Description

Even if syndaemon is not run by default, it would be nice if the package included the necessary script to launch syndaemon as part of the Xsession. For example, the attached files.

Fix bogus Xsession script for syndaemon: script is sourced, not exec'd, so don't do "exit 0".

There's a bug in the 85syndaemon script which blocks the reading of the /etc/default/syndaemon file: syndameon should be syndaemon. Any chance of syndaemon configuration being included in Ubuntu?
