No, I mean the computer I am sitting in front of and do the
typing of commands, and its Operating System. It was a Knoppix  ;-)

Sorry. It was "slightly wrong". It should have been:

  http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/aKademyl-ive/

OK, that's it. It gives

   no xauth in (/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin)

For the time being, I created a quick'n' dirty symlink /usr/bin/xauth -->
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.

You were right, that is the case here.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure either. I will test it later with 
Knoppix (should have the kalyxo packages installed).
