See 

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=101921

This may work for you:

#!/bin/sh

MCOOKIE=3D$(mcookie)
xauth add $(hostname)/unix$1 . $MCOOKIE
xauth add localhost/unix$1 . $MCOOKIE
Xnest $1&
ion -display $1
xauth remove $(hostname)/unix$1 localhost/unix$1

exit 0


I don't know why, but I don't need to go through this xauth business for
low-numbered displays.
