Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xauth

When I try to connect to ssh server running in Ubuntu Karmic with X
forwarding enabled I get problem that xauth doesn't have access to write
to /var/run/gdm/.

There is no problem if I'm already logged in locally with same user
because authentication file already exits.
