Description mark 2005-09-08 10:26:30 AEST 
The invocation of "xauth list <display>" in client_x11_get_proto() in  
clientloop.c has a bogus trailing "." argument which causes xauth to  
unnecessarily try to lookup a display called "." after reporting about the 
display that we actually care about.  
  
Fix is to change the: 
                snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), 
                    "%s %s%s list %s . 2>" _PATH_DEVNULL, 
to: 
                snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), 
                    "%s %s%s list %s 2>" _PATH_DEVNULL, 
 
Sorry I don't have the actual line number or a real patch but visual 
inspection should spot this fairly easily.

This has now been fixed in -HEAD and the 4.2 branch and will be in the next
release.  Thanks for the report.

Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
