Sturla,
What is the commands you used to use on fedora? Something like:
DISPLAY=:0.0 rxvt
I noticed that that stopped working in Debian unstable, and I think it
has to do with gdm. With a bit of poking around, this works for my
current session:
$ export XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.gdm5DU78i
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 x11vnc
If anyone can help me with a shorter way and a clue as to why gdm sets
that XAUTHORITY, I will be grateful.
