Details
This is not a huge problem, but I thought I'd log it in case anyone else has this issue. I'm building out my new dotfiles under a fresh, vanilla user on my Mac, but I'm editing and tweaking the repo from my existing account. I have a window where I am su'ed in as that other user and this is how the problem was spotted.
This stackoverflow post explains the problem.
Happy for this to be closed without a fix as I can hot-switch to the other use and log in "properly" to it. This setup was more as a convenience.
Update
The workaround is much easier than fast-switching between 2 GUI desktops. Just ssh temp@localhost once you've enabled sshd on your machine.
