Description of problem: When entering a gnome session, there is an xauth entry added for the local display. However, the only display that is set is "host/unix:0". If I want to allow remote computers to access my display (and I do), I need to add the xauth key for the display named "host:0". The other info is the same, but currently have to manually edit the xauth line to remove the "/unix". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.8.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into a gnome session. 2. In a terminal, execute 'xauth list :0' to see all keys for the local display. Actual results: The only matching entry is something like this: host/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ba0935474cbbe13d2ec448c1e0ca5b51 Expected results: There should be (at least) an entry that looks like this: host:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ba0935474cbbe13d2ec448c1e0ca5b51 (note the lack of "/unix") Additional info:
