Xauthority permission change
When I su root and run X (startx) from the su'ed shell,
the owner and modes of the <real-UID-user's-home>/.Xauthority
are changed to root and rw------- (ls format). (The file group
doesn't change.) Next time you start X as a normal user, no
X applications can be started because .Xauthority is not readable.
Is this a problem of the debian Xwrapper,
XFree86 (I'm using 3.3.2) or not a problem at all, i.e. a feature?
