    Don't inherit XAUTHORITY from the environment.
    
    It's not especially obvious, and unpleasantly overloaded for the Xnest
    case.  Typically this gives you a server that looks for its auth data in
    the authority file you were using for the running X session, which
    generally doesn't have an entry for the display you just started.
    
    All the major dm's, and startx, pass -auth explicitly, so this shouldn't
    cause too much upheaval.
