Public bug reported:

Since the upgrade to (x)ubuntu 8.04, I can't connect anymore from my
Xubuntu boxes to my working box display (linux from scratch). this bug
is often reported  on the net.

I scp my .Xauthority from my display/working box to my ubuntu box :
scp  ~/.Xauthority xubuntu:

then ssh to my xubuntu box and export my other box display :
ssh xubuntu
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.15:0

then launch a random application:
xclock

and have now the following failure:
Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed address comparison)Error: Can't open 
display: 192.168.0.15:0

192.168.0.15 is my working station where the window should be displayed,
this worked nice on all my (x)ubuntu boxes just before I upgraded them
to 8.04, they all fail now.
