There is too many requirements for free (non sponsored) work in open source.

> why you want to move the ".Xauthority" file?

Because I do not want to have crap in home dir
(user-authority-in-system-dir=3Dfalse) and I do not like have crap in var
(user-authority-in-system-dir=3Dtrue).
ConsoleKit2 will create /var/run/user/$UID dir and promote it as
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in any way.
user-authority-in-system-dir=3Dtrue mean that lightdm will create /var/run/=
$USER
to keep xauthority.

I try switch to /var/run/$USER by setting $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in login.conf and
later in .profile but gnupg (pgp-agent) have hard coded places to guess and=
 not
use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
It has more ugly code than lightdm to patch it.
Also ConsoleKit2 do additional management for this like create/delete and
without patching lightdm it will do this job even if I do not use it.


> BTW your patch cannot work as is because you also need code in src/lightd=
m.c telling lightdm to actually read that variable from the configuration f=
ile.

It can.
Simple hack: depend on state of user-authority-in-system-dir string inside
x_authority_filename var will end with ".Xauthority" or with "xauthority".



PS: I found that /etc/profile is not handled. Is it missed?
