This may be of help...
Did you know (or: Did you realize) that the X-Server performs a reset when
the
last client closes it's connection?
The repetition of the startup messages ("winDetect...") seems to indicate
that
the server is restarting.
IF there are no other X-clients running (like a x-term or window manager)
then
when the xhost program ends, the X-Serer resets and the authorizations are
lost.
If you are trying to set up permissions in your startxwin script, you need
to
re-arrange your client programs.
If you are trying to setup permissions for an XDM session, you need to:
a) use xhost on the remote machine,
b) use the -ac parameter on the XWin command, or
c) use the $HOME/.Xauthority file
Good luck,
-D.
