You moved between networks, which caused your hostname to change [1]. This meant that the xauth cookie for your current session no longer matched, because it embeds the hostname, because the spec says that's what you do. We set up X with two levels of authentication. The second is the traditional xauth cookie mechanism, but the first matches against UID instead [2]: % DISPLAY=:0 xhost access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect SI:localuser:ajax So this keeps normal users from being affected when the hostname changes. But once you've switched UID you fall back to the xauth cookie and things break. I wrote a patch for this once: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679486#c43 And it got no conclusive testing or whatever, I forget. The patch itself is in package git, although not enabled in the libXau build: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libXau.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdfc287eca3dfeaf457d7607763beae782f0004b If someone wanted to test it, that'd rule.
Anybody? Pretty please? - ajax -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
