Yes.  As noted in the previous message -- everything worked fine until  
the upgrade.
The versions of xauth on the working server and the non-working ones  
are identical:
	1:1.0.4-1

Are there any other packages I should check?  I don't know much about  
the guts of X11, so any suggestions will be welcome!
