[X2go-User] x2goclient X-forwarding-problem

Hi all,

I've the following setup:
 * a remote Xserver-session on a client via xdmcp and gdm3.
 * In this session I want to use x2goclient to access a remote server

Starting a X2go-session with x2goclient I get the following error:

...
...
Info: No suitable cache file found.
Info: Forwarding X11 connections to display '192.168.0.50:0.0'.
Session: Session started at 'Thu Jul 14 12:12:50 2011'.
Warning: X connection failed with error 'Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key'.
Session: Session started at 'Thu Jul 14 12:12:16 2011'.
Warning: X connection failed with error 'Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key'.

Obviously there is a problem with the access to the xserver. Using kdm (kde4) 
instead of gdm3 it works (partly). Maybe the difference is, that gdm3 doesn't 
use ~/.Xauthority any more. See here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586685
Maybe the proposed workaround helps here. I'll try.

regards
stefan
