Comment:

 Build 619, problem continues to occur.

 A ''/home/olpc/.serverauth.$$'' is created for every start of X, and
 removed only if ''xinit'' returns, which with Sugar never happens.

 The ''/home/olpc/.Xauthority'' is intentionally unlinked by ''xauth'' so
 that it can create a new one if the host name changes, but this unlink
 fails with ''EBUSY'' due to the entry in ''/etc/rwtab''.

 We need a different place to put these temporary files in the context of
 the olpc user ... we can use XAUTHORITY environment variable for that.
 I'll look for where to put them.
