How to use ~/.Xauthority instead of /tmp/.Xauthority when using GDM?
Issue
When login via GDM, X Window System authority file (XAUTHORITY) uses files under /tmp.
$ xauth -v
Using authority file /tmp/.gdm0JMTUW
$ echo $XAUTHORITY
/tmp/.gdm0JMTUW
How do I configure for the XAUTHORITY to use ~/.Xauthority under user directory?
