So you consider this 

      user=$(who | sed -n '/ (:0[\.0]*)$\| :0 /{s/ .*//p;q}')
      home=$(getent passwd $user | cut -d: -f6)
      XAUTHORITY=$home/.Xauthority

to be of the same quality as this

      user=$(who | sed -n '/ (:0[\.0]*)$\| :0 /{s/ .*//p;q}')
      XAUTHORITY=~$user/.Xauthority

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree.
