I think it works like this:
Any user who wants to use the X server must have the same key in
~/.Xauthority that the user who started the X server does. So, if Alice is
running an X server and Bob wishes to display something on it,
~alice/.Xauthority must be copied to ~bob . I could be totally off base on
