XAUTHORITY question.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I need some help with running X11 application (xmessage) from a process that stated before X11 was started.
Until now I understood that if I set the environment variable XAUTHORITY to the same auth file that the X process is using I will be OK without using xhost command. Recently (upgraded from a badly patched RedHat 9 to Gentoo) this environment variable setting stopped working.
It seems to me I do not understand the XAUTHORITY mechanism at all.

Thanks.
