[Pedro Villavicencio <pedro@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again
and we appreciate your help.

Title:
  Improved PostLogin script to for gdm 2.30

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  GDM for versions > 2.30 uses new Xauthority files under
  /var/run/gdm/... .

  This has the following implication:
  a) User connects to his ubuntu machine using ssh -XYC ubuntu-machine
  b) User tries to run an X11 command on the remote machine so that X11 is redirected to his local machine
  c) User gets the following error:
  [username@ubuntu-remote-machine]~ $ /opt/emacs24/bin/emacsclient -c
  Waiting for Emacs...X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

  *ERROR*: Display localhost:10.0 can't be opened

  The workaround in order to solve the above was to run the following on
  the remote ubuntu machine:

  $ XAUTHORITY=... (the value it has in any processes that is under the gdm process tree).
  $ export XAUTHORITY
  $ xauth remove localhost:10
  $ xauth merge ~/.Xauthority
