I don't have anything like /run/user/$UID/xauth*, on any machine, 15.1, 15.2, 15.3, TW.
What do you mean by "the xauth file isn't available/linked" ? 'xauth' says it is ~/.Xauthority and I see that everywhere.
Interesting. What's your displaymanager? My TW machine here has woodstock:~% echo $XAUTHORITY /run/user/1000/xauth_<beep> I don't remember the details, it's some 1 1/2 years back that this changed for TW. Since then, x11vnc_ssh was no longer able to automatically retrieve the proper XAUTHORITY. Might well be (only) sddm (which I use), at least the changelog contains * Sat Jul 17 2021 Fabian Vogt <fabian@ritter-vogt.de> - Update patch to include security fix from upstream PR: * 0001-Redesign-Xauth-handling.patch
Anyway, I'm only being curious.
That's a very valuable character trait :D
