Details

Since 0.20.0, sddm places Xauthority files in /tmp, as opposed to ~/.Xauthority in earlier versions. In the default configuration, systemd-tmpfiles cleans up /tmp every 10 days, deleting the xauth file in the process, such that no X apps can be launched. There should be an exception for /tmp/xauth* either in the default systemd-tmpfiles configuration or shipped with sddm.
This task depends upon

Upstream supplies a tmpfiles snippet that provides such exceptions [1]. It should be enough to drop the local tmpfiles snippet. The local sysusers snippet could also be dropped if it did not contain the fix for  FS#55960 .
