Bug#196575: xserver-xfree86 upgrade breaks X authorization
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-7
Followup-For: Bug #196575
After upgrading several X packages (xlibs, xbase-clients,
xserver-common, xserver-xfree86 and more) I was unable to start any new
X programs. For example, xterm would complain
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison)
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0
I logged out hoping that KDM would generate a new key and fix things,
but it didn't work -- KDM greeter is unable to connect to the X server
either and KDM just aborts.
I have nearly the same problem with XDM -- the login dialog works, but
my .xsession aborts with the same Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key
message.
GDM2 (Unofficial package from http://non-us.debian.org woody/gnome2)
works fine.
Plain startx used to work before I tried xdm/gdm, but now doesn't.

Of course everyone knows that vim is the best text editor in the world. Anyone
who tells you differently is either wrong, lying, or criminally insane. (Or an
emacs user, in which case they are wrong, lying and criminally insane).
