I use this method for displaying from various machines/users to my
display. If you use an explicit display name (i.e. host:n) there is
problem at all. The XAUTHORITY file may be placed anywhere you like
(like NFS mounted public directory).

This is not a problem ! This is the solution !
Remember - You can have the same cookie on several display names.
I used this several times in the past when I couldn't access the
XAUTHORITY file from the remote machine (i.e. no NFS).
1. Run xauth/list on the host machine.
2. Send the appropriate line/cookie to the remote machine (even
by email).
3. Run xauth on the remote machine.
4. Add the needed line (i.e. with the DISPLAY name as seen from
the remote) with the sent cookie.
Ehud.
