Hi,

Could you please file this as a separate bug report, and also explain why you
want to move the ".Xauthority" file? Is it not working properly where it is? Is
there a standard suggesting another location as an alternative (maybe a
preferred one)? Or some other reason I cannot imagine, maybe.

I'd also rather not add code to this already complex patch, that is already in
an advanced state of testing.

Also, this port is already diverging too much from upstream for my tastes, so
I'd rather have a very strong reason for adding this option and change its
behaviour further or ask for the patch to at least be filed upstream before
inclusion. [1]


BTW your patch cannot work as is because you also need code in src/lightdm.c
telling lightdm to actually read that variable from the configuration file.


[1] considering upstream policy for contributions, since you created this patch
and can claim full copyright for it, the only way for them to accept it would
be for you to file it on github as a pull request and sign their contributor
agreement. Apart from that their main platform is linux, so you should give
them some assurance this has no ill effects on linux systems and would not
cause any issues there.
