Re: [Wlug] Solved: X apps no longer work with sudo after upgrade to Squeeze

Hmm...my diagnosis was flawed. I had written:

It looks like the newer version of sudo no longer preserves $HOME by default...

It looks like the older version didn't preserve $HOME either; instead it somehow preserved the .Xauthority information itself. As the manpage implies, forcing it to preserve $HOME could have some security implications. If someone knows of a more straightforward solution, please share! Ted Ruegsegger
