[Bug 930912] [NEW] gui apps don't start, XAUTHORITY environment variable not kept

[Chhatoi Pritam Baral]

Public bug reported:

sudo doesn't keep the XAUTHORITY env var in Precise. GUI apps fail to
start with:

No protocol specified

Upon adding XAUTHORITY manually to env_keep in /etc/sudoers, gui works,
(but is still a nasty bland theme, not uniform with the user's current
theme, guess lightdm has something to do it)

** Affects: sudo (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New


** Tags: gnome3 sudo
