Hello SuSE gurus - I recently upgraded a few of my OpenSuSE 15.4 x64 systems to OpenSuSE 15.6 x64 (yes with an intermediate upgrade to 15.5) and a number of my custom scripts and software broke. FWIW I am using KDE with the X11/plasma desktop. I tracked the problem down to a change in location of the xauth_xxxx file that gets created. In 15.4 this file was located at /run/user/1000/xauth_xxxxx as shown below -

> > env | grep XAUTH
> XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=quasar
> XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/xauth_VMlqlf

In 15.6 this file got moved to /tmp as shown below -

> > env | grep XAUTH
> XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=wa7pxw
> XAUTHORITY=/tmp/xauth_NrHHAf

Why? Is it possible to change 15.6 back to use the previous /run/user/1000 location, and if so how? Or am I going to have to change all my scripts and rebuild software that depended on the old location?

Marc...
