Well I won't claim to understand exactly what the following does, but it does work, and does get exmh and other apps to stop complaining about authority problems. It also seems to be key to running X sessions on remote machines.
in my startx file (/usr/X11R6/bin) add the following line directly after the initial comment:
mcookie|sed -e 's/^/add :0 . /'|xauth -q
then in that same file, change the last line of the file (or whatever line calls xinit) to:
xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs -auth "$HOME/.Xauthority"
Hope that helps.
