--- Comment #6 from Egbert Eich
Why does gdm use a special directory for XAUTHORITY? Is this a bug or a feature? I think it's considered a feature. But the env variable XAUTHORITY is there to allow it to be located in different places.
Why does the display look so weird:
#ffff#6d6167656c6c616e#:0 I assume this is also contained in the DISPLAY environment variable.
If this doesn't work with xauth it should not be used. -- 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.
