Double 'creating new .Xauthority' message when booting
« on: November 21, 2010, 05:24:26 AM »
When I boot up, after all the extensions have been loaded, the screen clears and a double message about creating new .Xauthority appears on the screen.

Is it supposed to be double? Is it an X thing?

It's the same cookie, but it's added for two names (:0 and hostname:0 IIRC).

Do you think it should not be shown?

None would be best. One would be OK.  Two gives the look of an error.

Same here - I would prefer normally no message, only in case of some error or failure.
