Basically, automatically creating a symlink to the real cookie on X startup seems to be a nice idea! I only fear this will interfere with future SDDM development decisions (who knows what they will do next) if it force-links to ~/.Xauthority …
A simple test before force symlinking should safeguard from this contingency:
Code: [Select]
[ -L ~/.Xauthority ] && ln -sf $XAUTHORITY ~/.Xauthority
