   A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education,
   and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a
   poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward
   after death.

You will need to futz around with the cookie file since it will obviously
only contain the cookie for :0, see the xauth files in the servauthdir
(whatever the exact names may be, I think /var/gdm/:0.Xauth or whatnot).

   You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun
   than you can with a kind word alone.
