This is exactly the symptom I've been experiencing (see my preceding post for 2.3.0-rc3) and that I (wrongly) believed to be related to a crash of the server that occured a short time before. I still have the problem with 2.3.0-rc4 on two different PPC macs under 10.5.3 (note that if I deselect the "authenticate connexions" checkbox, the problem disappears). I also installed 2.3.0-rc4 on an intel mac : works as expected there !!! Vincent. Le 15 juin 08 à 20:46, Martin Costabel a écrit :

Could this be caused by something stale being left behind and not having been cleaned up in /tmp/ ?
Not in /tmp/ in any case. I rebooted, which cleaned /tmp/ out and repopulated it with a couple of launch* things. The problem is still there.
Then I installed X11-2.2.1, logout/login: Problem gone; Then I reinstalled X11-2.3.0-rc4, logout/login: Problem reappears.
I tried it from a different, completely standard, user account: Same problem.

I am seeing the problem on a MacBookPro which is intel. But unchecking the Authenticate connections preference does indeed solve (or hide) the problem. -- Martin
I was finally able to I think create the problem... no .Xauthority file prior to X11 startup. I fixed it by doing touch ~/.XAuthority then running an X11 app (eg oclock) to startup X11. Merle On Jun 15, 2008, at 4:38 PM, Martin Costabel wrote:

Ok. That isn't quite it. I was able to create the problem by deleting the .Xauthority and all the .serverauth.* files in my home directory. However, with 10.5.3, I haven't been able to figure out a way to make it start working again so far. Merle On Jun 15, 2008, at 5:07 PM, Merle Reinhart wrote:

Ok. The problem is the .Xauthority file. Starting X11 I get the error everyone is talking about after I deleted the .Xauthority file. An empty one didn't solve the problem, it wanted actual contents. 1) So, I started X11, got the errror. 2) cp .Xauthority my.Xauthority # The idea here is to save a valid file 3) quit X11. This deletes the contents of the .Xauthority file which means the next time you start up X11, you get the error 4) cp my.Xauthority .Xauthority # This gives X11 some contents on startup 5) startup X11 and no error. I would expect an empty or missing .Xauthority file to be 'ok'. Any reason why that would be a bad assumption? Merle On Jun 15, 2008, at 5:18 PM, Merle Reinhart wrote:

I can confirm this, with the addition: 6) Subsequent starts of xterm w/o X11: No error. So it seems quitting X11 kills the ~/.Xauthority file, but only if it was dead or non-existent at X11 startup. If there was a valid non-empty ~/.Xauthority file when X11 started, it will not be destroyed at quitting X11. Weird. -- Martin
Ok, given that I can now trigger it... but that really begs the question as to why it worked before... Given this information, I don't see why this would actually work in 2.2.2 but not 2.3.0-rc4 ... but it's certainly a blocker that I'll try to address for the next rc. --Jeremy On Jun 15, 2008, at 14:07, Merle Reinhart wrote:

I have authentication required, and I'm still not seeing this issue. On Jun 15, 2008, at 13:38, Martin Costabel wrote:
