Here is the gdb output: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xb7a60fd3 in strlen () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0xb7a60fd3 in strlen () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0xb7b5a78e in g_strdup () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #2 0xb7fd3179 in prepare_xauth (context=0x807fad8) at gksu-context.c:449 #3 0xb7fd3685 in gksu_context_run (context=0x807fad8, error=0xbffff7c0) at gksu-context.c:633 #4 0x0804bcf2 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff864) at gksu.c:946 (gdb) f 2 #2 0xb7fd3179 in prepare_xauth (context=0x807fad8) at gksu-context.c:449 449 context->xauth = g_strdup (xauth); (gdb) p xauth $1 = '\0' <repeats 255 times> Since the content of the `xauth' variable is strange, I looked at the command that initializes it. Indeed, there is no MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 in my /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth output, there's something like blackbird/unix:0 XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ...the_cookie_value... there.
