Thanks a million for getting me on the right track! This has been bugging
me for months and I think I finally beat it! For the record- the code above
didn't quite work, but the variation below did:

xauth -f /home/alexp/.Xauthority add `hostname`/unix:0 `xauth list localhost:0 | awk '{ print $2, $3 }'`

                                        Cheers,

                                               Alex
