:)

I didn't know that, but it sounds plausible that this could change
something, regarding to http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libxau6 :

"This package provides the main interface to the X11 authorisation
handling, which controls authorisation for X connections, both
client-side and server-side."

Perhaps somebody can enlighten us, how the authorisation is handled
without this library.

Still daylight available here, I should connect cables now, at places
were I won't see enough later. First I'll have a coffee and after I
connected the cables, I'll take a walk. I'm uncertain, if I should use
19" or software reverb. Any recommendations?
