I have a question on SSH x forwarding. I have been getting an X
authenitcation errors from within an application that spawns another
app with a different user id and the .Xauthority file does not have
the correct magic key.

The options that I have reached so far is:

1) Disable Xauthority all together. Still have not found how to do
this.
2) Merge all keys into one .Xauthority files.
3) Have vendor fix app code (virtually no chance!!)
4) Use general port fowarding. (no luck here so far)

Any suggestions would find a grateful soul... either suggest on what
is listed above or something new.

Thanks.
