No, I didn't. But what account settings could cause this issue? Assumed
it's not a common issue, could it be related to the used graphics or the
graphics driver [1]?

Btw. sometimes I run some applications for my user session, by another
user, to e.g. get password protected histories of browsers [2] (yes,
there are smarter ways to use xhost, but it shouldn't be related to the
issue ;). I guess this shouldn't have impact to the behavior of
applications, that are launched by the user of the user's session.
