X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

[Bill Moseley]

I'm running Edubuntu/Gutsy LTSP-5.

Thanks to stgraber on IRC my Gnome volume applet works.  The solution
was to add this:

    sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-pulse0.10-0

Well, almost.

When I log in with my admin login the volume applet works.

But, when I log in as a normal user this message is displayed on the
LTSP server:

    X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

(It would be nice to have a bit more info in that message.)

and the volume applet does not start for that user (but audio still
works).

Here's the two users.  I first suspected a difference in groups
but I tried adding "admin" and "video" to user "hank" and no
difference.  And the X11 auth error doesn't really seem like a group
issue.  I also tried adding a new user, setting their groups to the
same as mine but still no luck (same auth error).


$ groups moseley foobar hank
moseley : moseley adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin admin netdev powerdev
foobar : foobar adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin admin netdev powerdev
hank : hank adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip plugdev scanner fuse

Only "moseley" works.

What else can I look for?

How can I determine what is generating (and why) the X11 wrong auth
error?
