 Rebuilding everything for NetBSD 7.99.20 X11_TYPE=modular did not
 solve the problem.  I still suspect something from the latest openssh
 update or from the tmpfs update relating to /var/shm since neither
 reverting to a previous kernel nor to a previous pkgsrc build solved
 the problem.  I also wonder if NetBSD is different from DragonFly or
 FreeBSD that do not seem to require the creation of an .Xauthority
 file in the user's home directory after trying to start
 openbox-session.
 
 I updated pkgsrc to include the recommended xproto, and then I rebuilt
 all of pkgsrc xorg from scratch and everything that depends on it
 using
 
 pkg_rolling-replace -suv
 
 I cleared out /usr/obj and /usr/tools, well, I had to since otherwise
 the NetBSD current source wouldn't build, and completely rebuilt the
 kernel and world without xsrc from scratch as of
