loss of xauthority

[hawk@eyry.econ.iastate.edu]

I'm stumped again.  I've lost my ability to control xhost for more than a 
minute or so.  This is fairly recent.

my "xhost + . . . " line in .xsession used to let me specify my common hosts, 
including localhost.  No longer.

It is necessary to do an xhost + immediately before a program tries to open an 
xwindow.  ANd for each additional attempt.

I don't *think* i did anything to bring on this change.

WHile I'm at it, should I be using something other than xhost?  the fm's i rt
'd seem to suggest I should be using magic cookies instead.
