I agree, that ~/.Xauthority is probably not the best place for this file,
but it is the default (at least in Debian).

If it is expected behaviour that this will not work correctly with shared
Homedirectories, I wonder why this did not cause me any trouble with NFS3
for many years.

Anyway I did not yet figure out how to globally change the XAUTHORITY
Variable in kdm and ssh :(
