Hey,

I am new to OpenBSD. I run 7.3-stable.

My understanding after reading X(7), Xsecurity(7) and xenodm(1) is that
one can set the environment variable XAUTHORITY to specify the location
of the file, which by default, is located at $HOME/.Xauthority.

In $HOME/.profile I set XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.config/X/Xauthority and movedĀ 
.Xauthority to $HOME/.config/X/Xauthority.

However, now, when I boot and X is started, I see the cursor in the
middle of the screen for a moment and then X seems to crash and start
again. I am stuck in this loop.

Why do I not witness the behaviour I expected? Should I have set the
environment variable in $HOME/.xsession?

More importantly, how do I exit this loop and revert the changes?

Kind regards,
Leo
