--- Comment #4 from Guido Berhörster
great research!
Note that this only covers a system with the XFCE pattern installed, so to cover everything a fully extracted Factory tree will probably have to be searched. Also I only examined scripts, cases like xfce4-session which exec()'s iceauth are not covered by the above. Finally, the right thing is probably to declare these dependencies on a per-package basis at least for Factory. (In reply to comment #2)
Honestly I don't want to add xhost, since we add "-nolisten tcp" to Xserver options since many years now, so using xhost won't work for anyone unless root changes /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager:DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN accordingly. .. Any comments?
xhost is also needed to grant another local user access to your X server, eg. when running a X application as a different user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
