I guess your system is going to be more secure, but it's developers
forget to tell you :)

here are possible reasons - xdm enable authorization for display
so now every application you want to use have to use probably
this file:   ~user_name/.Xauthority

you may solve this by putting something like this in your startup
script:

export XAUTHORITY=/your/home/path/.Xauthority

(you may eventually run this command in you shell before you will run
aviplay)

I'm not sure if avifile is supposed to make this tricks by itself
(e.g. setting this variable before opening X connection - in case
it's true - I'd like to read from somewhere why...)
