Perhaps this should be sent to x.org, but since OpenBSD maintains its

instead of $XAUTHORITY? This seems redundant, and a pain in the
ass for those of us who find xdm boring, finding xdm redundant.
The rationale for this change is explained in X.Org's bugzilla #3078:

But unless you've some strange scripts that fiddle with .Xauthority in
strange ways, I wonder why you call this a pita.
