	You may find that the X display would pay attention to anything
that got sent to it - DEC's supplied Motif-based clients don't look in
your .Xauthority file, so they never send magic-cookie information to the
server, and that's not the server's problem.
	This is a pet peeve of mine that DEC have promised will be fixed
in the next release - apparently someone put in a definition in a
Makefile somewhere they shoudln't.
