Description Jason Schulz 2015-12-22 18:37:34 UTC 
There is a race condition between virtualgl and the display manager init scripts.  The virtualgl script waits a minimum of three and a maximum of six seconds for the xauth file to be generated.  This causes bumblebee to initialize in an invalid state.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add a seven second delay before starting the display manager (e.g. sleep 7).

This lowers the wait time to a minimum of a second, and guarantees a consistent state between the display manager, virtualgl, and bumblebee.
