14 Oh, I have a clue ... I noticed that the user wasn't included in

17 I updated this system  by binary update, and I guess the default is
18 |--include-config.|

20 |From now on, I'll use |||--include-unmodified-config.||

22 ||But adding the user, in both host and client /etc/group files, and
23 restarting X, didn't solve the problem, so there's likely some other old
24 configuration that got wiped out.
