Secondly, X7.2 as I tried it wouldn't "startx" if some other login had

I think I ran into this once a while back, I don't know what is the
correct solution.

Perhaps you could put in some kind of "setenv XAUTHORITY .Xlocalauthority" in a script somewhere.

Actually this one can bite you quite badly. If you are running X, and then you login from somehwere else, and then go back to the X session, then suddenly all your X commands like xterm will completely stop working. It can be really disconcerting if you don't know what caused it, and I can see a large number of help messages being generated on the various bulletin boards.
