Of course. Missed that.

I'd append it to the .Xaurthority file. Someone might already have
cookies for other servers stored.
COOKIE=`mcookie`
xauth -f $AUTHFILE add :0.0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
xauth add :0.0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
XWin -auth $AUTHFILE
rm $AUTHFILE
or
COOKIE=`mcookie`
xauth add :0.0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 $COOKIE
XWin -cookie $COOKIE
