Hello!

I want to update user's .Xauthority file with cookies targeted at new hostname 
on hostname change via hostnamectl. I need an advice about the best possible 
approach for solving this problem. I tried to investigate several possible 
approaches:

- Add xauth functions to systemd-hostnamed (or hostnamectl). This approach will 
require linking with Xorg libraries and efforts to maintain patch aside from 
mainstream;
- Implement separate systemd service which is activated on request to D-Bus 
interface org.freedesktop.hostname1 . The problem is that I will need to know 
if systemd-hostnamed changed hostname correctly somehow and will also need to 
know previous hostname;
- Implement separate application listening D-Bus for PropertiesChanged signal 
and somehow verify if required property changed.

So... Is there any other (more sane) way to solve a problem? Maybe it is 
possible to create a hook for hostnamed?
