I think the problem comes from the fact that I have
[[ -n $DISPLAY ]] && export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
in my ".zshenv" (it is sourced in a zsh script before fvwm is run).
This was needed to be able to start X applications (e.g. emacs)
after a su.
I can login if I choose a Fvwm session (instead of the default that
uses the .xsession script), but I get similar problems from an xterm
probably for the same reason (zsh is my login shell), e.g. with
emacs:
No protocol specified
Display :0 unavailable, simulating -nw
If the Xauthority location has changed, this should be announced,
as this is not the default. The X(7) man page says:
XAUTHORITY
This must point to a file that contains authorization data. The
default is $HOME/.Xauthority. See Xsecurity(7), xauth(1),
xdm(1), Xau(3).
