32-bit Mag3 ----------- Despite disabling *testing media, when I installed lightdm and tried the 'fail' test, it worked; and I found that the version installed was as per *testing i.e. cited in this bug:- lightdm-gtk-greeter-1.3.1-6.mga3 liblightdm-gobject1_0-1.4.4-1.mga3 lightdm-1.4.4-1.mga3 BTAIM Sitting on the lightdm login screen, TTY2 login as root and set & verify /home/<user>/.Xauthority to foo then login as <user> from the graphic screen works OK. So the fix at least does not exhibit the bug; deemed OK.
