So it is obvious that kdontchangethehostname tries to run "xauth list" and
waits until it finishes. But it never finishes, and, in addition it probably
causes all X clients to be rejected. I'm not a professional in how an X
server works but probably that should be the fact. What do you think?

I had similar experiences earlier with Midnight Commander under Debian Sarge
3.1. It was searching for internet connection on the startup. And it didn't
start, if there was no working connection... Why...?
