Hi!  I received this error:

BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command 
ignored

everything was working fine until i ran xhost +milanese to allow that
machine to use my xserver.  I ran this command while logged onto my
machine as 'jbirineo'.  I've run xhost -, but apparently it seems
that i need to do more to make my server secure again.

my setup runs the xlogin manager.  The curious thing is that
whenever anyone else logs into my computer through xlogin, they
are able to run exmh without any hassles.  The above error comes
up only when I log in. I know this really isn't a bug; I just
need some help in my screw up.  If you can shed some light
on what i did wrong, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks.

Joe
