But it doesn't actually work, as Ben found out.

What's *really* happening on Red Hat is that gdm sets the XAUTHORITY
variable before launching the session.  See gdm_slave_start() in
daemon/slave.c in the gdm-2.0 source.

gdm is so amazingly superior to xdm, I wonder why it is not installed with
the task-gnome-desktop package.
