Hi Ludo,

apologies for the delayed reaction, I've been quite busy. Oddly enough
the commands seem to work fine on GuixSD. Can you maybe tell me what
distro you're using?

I don't have access to a foreign distro at the moment, but I'll try to
look into it next weekend.

Do you have the 'xauth' command? If not, could you install that and see
if it makes a difference?
