This behavior comes from olpc-dm... Actually I don't like it that
much... I preferred $HOME/.xsession-errors.

Ah, good catch!

But it's suspicious that .Xauthority is that old, because a fresh one
should be created each time X starts.  Is the hwclock set correctly?

In latest builds, the cookies moved to ~/.serverauth.$$.

I dunno why we put the PID there.  It litters the home directory.
Auth cookies are unique per-display, so ".xserverauth.$DISPLAY"
would have been a better name.
