So does root get to keep my user's .Xauthority file permanently then? Or is
.Xauthority periodically generated? (Man -k xauthority and variations thereof
return nothing. :(...) And what does the .Xsession file that someone was
talking about do? (No luck with man and that file either)

So if I am logged into a remote computer telnet, could I do xhost
+remotecomputer on mine, and export DISPLAY=myipaddr on remote, and then start
some X program on remote and have it send the display to my Xserver?
