Bug#296876: xvfb-run: does not properly look for xauth

[Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org>]

Package: xvfb
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: normal

I have a cron job that needs an X server to be present, so wanted to use
xvfb-run to make this work. However, there's an issue; my cron output
looks like this:

xvfb-run: error: xauth command not found

even though xbase-clients is installed. This seems to be because
xvfb-run looks for xauth using 'which', while xauth is installed in
/usr/bin/X11/xauth; using which will thus work if that directory is in
$PATH, but that is not usually the case when something is being called
from cron.
