@Brian, Claus: at ubuntuforums it was suggested (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309289) that this is maybe (indeed) more a gdm issue than an x2x issue.
@Robert: I tried your workaround script and it works, thanks! I needed a little tweak though; our network administrator assigned a different static name to my laptop than I configured when installing Karmic. I need the network name to run ssh, but xauth uses the local install name. So I rewrote the script to: #!/bin/bash HOST=laptop-networkname HOSTlocal=laptop-installname USER=user cmd1="xauth merge /var/run/gdm/auth-for-${USER}*/database" cmd2="xauth list" cmd3="x2x -west -to :0.0" cmd4="xauth remove ${HOSTlocal}/unix:0" ssh -XC ${us...@${host} "$cmd1; $cmd2; $cmd3; $cmd4" ssh -XC ${us...@${host} "xauth list" When I interrupt the script with ^C, cmd4 (xauth remove) apparently still gets executed, because the final xauth list shows only one entry, as desired.
