mcookie, actually.
On my linux box the startx script runs, right before running xinit:
mcookie=`mcookie`
for displayname in $display `hostname -f`$display; do
if ! xauth list "$displayname" | grep "$displayname " >/dev/null
2>&1; then
xauth add $displayname . $mcookie
removelist="$displayname $removelist"
fi
done
Basically this snippet creates a random cookie using mcookie and adds it
to the XAUTHORITY list of cookies. It seems that mcookie comes with the
util-linux package on that linux box. I could not find it in any cygwin
package.
Any pointers on how do I make XAuthority work properly?
