Bug Description
[Impact]
In the Karmic release, this fix was dropped accidentally. This causes a regression for people who do new installations, which makes xauth required again even for local users. It does not affect upgraders since earlier versions of the package installed it and no versions actually remove it so the file would still be in place.
[Development Fix]
The fix has been committed to xorg git and will be made available when we next update xorg in Lucid.
[Release Fix]
The debdiff attached to this bug restores the file.
[Regression Potential]
Essentially none. This file had been present up until very shortly before karmic released with no ill effect. This change does nothing more than restore the file.
Binary package hint: xorg
recent NetworkManager upgrade reveals that X sessions cannot deal with a changed hostname. Further investigation showed that fedora and opensuse dont have this issue.

milestoning for final as not fixing this will require us to strip down NetworkManager features and will leave NetworkManager svn builds completely unsupported (in that it breaks your X session).
