Maybe the conclusion that there is a problem with ~/.Xauthority is premature. Please see previous discussions on the subject. However, as you can see from my last mail, it just doesn't work, and I do remember that this was a problem shared by people having their home dir on an NFS mount, and that disabling the root_squash option resolved it. So it would seem some sort of read access to the home dir is required for root, which is denied due to root_squash. If it is not for ~/.Xauthority, I would not know what it would be for - I'm not an expert on the subject. Suggestions welcome! Frode M.
