Package: gksu
Version: 1.3.6-1
Severity: important
I cannot pinpoint exactly what packages I installed/upgraded before this started
to happen, but yesterday I found I was no longer able to run Synaptic from the
gnome menu. .xsession-errors showed X authentication errors.
Upon further checking, I found that the problem seems to lie with gksu, as
running the command via su, sudo (with DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY in env_keep) and
'gksu -S' works fine.
The cause seems to be that a bad .Xauthority file is created - running
gksu "xauth list" resulted in only one line
$hostname/unix:2 ....
while running "xauth list" as myself gave me 3 lines for display 2:
$hostname/unix:2 ...
$hostname.$domainname:2 ...
0.0.0.0:2 ...
and DISPLAY is set to the second form (by the X server I presume).
Running "gksu 'xauth add $hostname.$domainname:2 ....; emacs'" works.
Setting DISPLAY to $hostname/unix:2 before running gksu also works.
Neither seems particularly acceptable though - I would expect gksu to set
up the environment correctly.
(In case it matters, the X server in question is Xrealvnc)

Hello,
This should be fixed since 1.9.6. The upstream changelog's relevant
part:
- do not remove the hostname/socket part of the DISPLAY
(addresses Debian bug #349652)
See you,
