tags 296468 + patch thanks That's because $DISPLAY typically is set to localhost:10.0, which means that sux will ask xauth for the cookies for localhost/unix:10.0, but the relevant cookie is stored in .Xauthority under <hostname>/unix:10.0. I'm not sure what the correct solution is, but replacing "localhost" with $HOST (or `hostname` to be sure) or "" should work.
(See line 201 and forward.) There is a similar problem in lines 189 and 190, when --untrusted is used. I suggest removing $DISPLAY from line 190, since the temporary file only contains cookies for that one $DISPLAY anyway.
