How is not properly setting up the session, and preventing root from showing things on the display, "for security"?
root, by definition, has the ability to do anything anywhere on the system. Including reading and writing other users' files; reading and writing the memory of processes (and FD's and environment and ...) from other users, etc. Adding extra steps is not security, it's just making things more difficult for users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652282 Title: Xwayland not using XAUTHORITY, prevents root applications from connecting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1652282/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
