Hans de Goede a8984a81c2 xwayland: Generate a Xauth file and pass this to Xwayland when starting it
Before this commit, sudo x11-app, e.g. sudo gvim /etc/some-file, fails
when running a Wayland session. Where as doing this under a "GNOME on Xorg"
session works fine. For a user switching from the Xorg session to the
Wayland session, this is regression, which we want to avoid.

This commit fixes this by creating and passing an xauth file to Xwayland when
mutter starts it. Just like gdm or startx pass a xauth file to Xorg when they
start Xorg.

Fixes #643

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
