From what I understand, this is a specification ( X11R6...) to enhance X server security. This seems to be made up of X server having the -sp option, presence of xauth, xhost etc commands, authorization through MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1(?).. Is having X Security properly enabled for a desktop a configuration issue? Or, are there specific APIs (libXext ?) that an application can use to take advantage of this X Security extension? I am looking at GNOME apps in terms of security and am trying to understand how the underlying X Security support impacts a GNOME application and what are the ways to 'enable' it for an app ( configuration, coding ). Regards, Hema. ------=_NextPartTM-000-9f65e281-5856-4522-9573-48e7c3b1cfb7 Content-Type: text/plain; name="Wipro_Disclaimer.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Wipro_Disclaimer.txt" **************************Disclaimer************************************************** Information contained in this E-MAIL being proprietary to Wipro Limited is 'privileged' and 'confidential' and intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
