xfce, Apple X11, and mouse emulation

[Fred Dushin]

What you are referring to may be a separate issue.  There is an issue  
with Apple's X11, auth, and sleep.  If you put the mac to sleep and  
awaken it, your xauth cookies no longer function properly (attempts  
to open a new xterm are refused by the server, for example).  Oddly  
enough, if you put the mac to sleep again and re-awaken it, your  
cookies work again.  Go figure.
