Hello,

I have difficulty to use Xnest on some systems. It seems to me it
has something to do with the cookies in .Xauthority. On some systems
these cookies seem to remain after X terminates on others they are
removed. On these systems after launching Xnest on an alternate
display I can't connect a single client nor generate a cookie for
this display. On OpenBSD for example host/unix:0 is remained after
terminting X on display :0. So starting X on :1 allows me to run
Xnest on :0 and then connect clients to :0.
Trying to generate a cookie on a display which isn't already served
also fails.
So how can one use Xnest when there is no cookie for the display
before starting Xnest?

Cheers 
Hanspeter
