Bug#671909: x2x: ssh -X to root doesn't work with non-root X logins.
Package: x2x
Version: ssh -X to root doesn't work with non-root X logins.
Severity: normal
ssh -X root@host.local x2x -east -to :0.0
doesn't work when x2x is run from computer where non-root user is running X.
I havn't figured out the X server MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE stuff at all as root instead of the target user.
