Dear Maintainer,

I used to do the following:

$ xhost +si:localuser:$USER
$ su - $USER

and then run some GUI programs.

 From today I get the following error:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Error: cannot open display: :0

AFAICT it's due to libmutter-7-0, specifically https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1424 I suspect. Presumably it previously worked using the abstract socket, but now there's only /tmp/.X11-unix/X0, which is only writable by the user running the session.

I suggest filing an issue upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues .
