An update on the Xauthority problem 8-)

On a wild idea, I commented out any references to initializing XAUTHORITY
anywhere in the system. Lo and behold, xauth worked and I now have good
.Xauthority files for root and other users! I did logout all users to reset
all the enviroment variables before using 'xauth'.

Is this a feature or a bug?

BTW, now xdm won't finish booting for any user other than root. I get the 
initial Xserver screen, then return to login.
