[Bug 430697] Re: exmh-bg dying, becoming a zombie

[Bodo Bellut]

I've finally found out why this happens. The two processes use the Tk
send function to communicate with each other which only worls, when the
xhost list is empty. For some reason, my xhost list wasn't empty but
contained these entries:

bodo at sakura:~$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
SI:localuser:bodo
SI:localuser:gdm
SI:localuser:root

These entries are added by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_localhost
contained in x11-common.

bodo at sakura:~$ apt-cache policy x11-common
x11-common:
  Installed: 1:7.4+3ubuntu10
