3 notes

  1. Chromium window drag warps the window (xfwm4) or the cursor (KWin) on X11

    Dragging a Chromium window by its own title bar on X11 makes the window jump hundreds of pixels (often off-screen) under xfwm4, or makes the mouse cursor jump under KWin. Chromium sends a _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE request with wrong root coordinates; turning on "Use system title bar and borders" avoids it.

  2. Chromium over ssh -X: Connection rejected because of wrong authentification

    Forwarded X11 worked for xterm but the snap-packaged Chromium failed with "Connection rejected because of wrong authentification". The snap looks for .Xauthority inside its own home; symlinking it there fixes it.

  3. VcXsrv: Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

    X11 apps from WSL refused to open on a VcXsrv display with "Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified". Relaunching VcXsrv with "Disable access control" ticked fixed it.
