Bug#292388: started seeing this bug today



I've been using xdm and qemu for ages w/o problems, but today I began
seeing this bug when using qemu.

joey@kodama:~>qemu -boot a -fda boot_70.img -fdb root.img
XDM authorization key matches an existing client!Could not initialize SDL - exiting

ii  libx11-6       2:1.1.4-2      X11 client-side library
ii  qemu           0.9.1-5        fast processor emulator
ii  xdm            1:1.1.8-1      X display manager

I upgraded libx11-6 from version 2:1.0.3-7 on 2006-06-12, and this is
probably the first time I've tried to start qemu since then. (Also rebooted
recently if it matters.)

I see this in Xorg.0.log:

AUDIT: Mon Jun 16 15:11:08 2008: 9234 X: client 17 rejected from local host (uid 1000)
  Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1


Since this bug has been open for ages and seems tricky to fix, and there's a
simple workaround in the xdm configuration, is there any reason to not apply
the workaround in the default config?
