With the above setup starting "startxfce4" from .bash_profile, I get an error when ssh: |
| 27 |
"No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding." |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This error does not show up when "startxfce4" is run from .xinitrc |
| 30 |
I don't know what difference it makes how xfce4 is started. |
