I started looking at the .server* and .Xauthority files.
Found that .Xauthority keeps growing (but not since the origin of times--and
see below: cleaned up after timeout!).
Now, I removed a previous version so that I only have a smaller chunk left:

~> strings .Xauthority
EV68B599EABE1A
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
Tnj#
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
~> strings .serverauth.5268
EV68B599EABE1A
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
~> wc .Xauthority
  0   3 340 .Xauthority
~> tail -3 /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log
[  4303.693] winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and
successfully opened the display.
[  4303.693] winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and
successfully opened the display.
[  4303.693] winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully
opened the display.

It looks like the .serverauth file was cleaned up after the last exit--this
surprises me as I use to find afterwards.
.Xauthority was also cleaned up to a minimal state:

~> od -x .Xauthority
0000000
