Off course. But what about login over ssh as root, became user (su to it) with
its environment, and again, just starts x11vnc...

Off course we can imagine many other cases where hunter on magic cookie file is
needed, but in most of them I think you are known what you do...

> Why?
Because we must be closer to upstream as much as possible.

Key there "distro-integration". So, init-scripts is distro dependent and Fedora
specific in most of cases.

File locations for those MIT cookies is also standardized less or more, as I
can understand. And include 3 or 4 additional paths in find process for most
useful places is not problem.

> IMO, that does not belong to upstream.  
IMHO, if it is useful future, it will be very cool in any case speak with
upstream.


So, if upstream do not want even speak about it, then we can continue discuss
about include it as Fedora-specific part only.
