Hi, I'm still seeing this behavior occasionally. But recently I'm made another observation. During the time when no X clients can cannot I see this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xauth list :0 xauth: /home/hanke/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored balin/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 18f7c5d44dfa751698177b1e48daab42 When looking at the permission, I have: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll .Xauthority -rw------- 1 hanke users 2,4K 21. Aug 10:52 .Xauthority but now, the next call to xauth looks _always_ (n=10 so far) like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xauth list :0 balin/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 18f7c5d44dfa751698177b1e48daab42 and after that the problem is _always_ fixed, ie. client can connect again. The timing seems to be irrelevant, as soon as I do this, no matter how quick or slow after I discovered the problem, it is fixed.
