I have taken your suggestion of set -vx in my startx and I get
authdisplay=${display:-:0}
+ authdisplay=:0
mcookie=`mcookie`
mcookie
++ mcookie
+ mcookie=eabdca9c843ad050975359df8f162c69
for displayname in $authdisplay $hostname$authdisplay; do
if ! xauth list "$displayname" | grep "$displayname " >/dev/null 2>&1; then
xauth << EOF
removelist="$displayname $removelist"
fi
done
+ xauth list :0
+ grep ':0 '
+ xauth
Using authority file /home/alf/.Xauthority
Writing authority file /home/alf/.Xauthority
+ removelist=:0
+ xauth list puppypad.co.za:0
+ grep 'puppypad.co.za:0 '
+ xauth
Using authority file /home/alf/.Xauthority
Writing authority file /home/alf/.Xauthority
and now, at this point the script stops and only carries on if I enter Ctrl-C
