'''Purpose:''' Help with the error message:

    X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization)

for those users who are launching X themselves and need either a display manager or some good means of generating session keys.

'''Does anyone who uses the console use non-X11 graphic applications?''' (Using the console as a dumb terminal doesn't count.)

Yes.

   * You have to arrange for multiple window systems on the console. It's difficult to get this to interoperate with a display manager. If you're not braver than I am, go to [X server insecure: can't manage the local console] to see how to get authorization enabled.

No.

   * You have an unmanaged local console, but you could get it managed. Go to [X server insecure: setting up xdm].
