Magic cookie problem

[Johann Spies <jhspies@futurenet.co.za>]

I start X with alias "startx -ls -xauth" and regularly get the
following error message:

GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected.

I then kill the process and start again.  Most of the time it works
the second time or third time.  But it is annoying.

Is there any cure for this?

Johann
