Are you using xdm? If yes, then that might be the corner case. AFAIK other DMs are not setting a XDM-AUTHORIZATION-COOKIE[1], so noone sees this problem[2]. I personally tend to think it is a bug in the Xserver. if it gets a new connection with the same data, it should first look if the previous connection has finished. I guess it's just a race condition that it first tries the new connect before realizing the old is gone. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R. Link [1] You can also tell xdm to not set it by adding a DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 to /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config Perhaps that would be an sensible default for xdm? I don't think using those cookies gives anysecurity benefit. [2] Only people using xdm and only when using specifiy programs. firefox had it relatively often for some time, but that changed, too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
