Some research shows that the -ac switch to the server causes this behaviour. I got the configuration from the beryl wiki:
http://wiki.beryl- project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL#Adding_an_Xgl_login_session Leaving out this switch fixes the problem and appears to cause no other. Since this page is a wiki, I removed the switch from the examples on this page, and added a warning about what it does. Still I am unimpressed with Ubuntu's response or actually lack of response to this report. Even though it could be classified as 'User error', if that was the reason for the lack of response, adding a comment to say so would hardly seem like a lot of effort. After all, I did take the effort to create a bugreport that contains enough information to resolve it. Therefore I'm leaving the report open, wondering if someone will notice and close it. -- xserver or gdm sets xhost + ; no security https://launchpad.net/bugs/73110 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
