This might be what you are looking for, although it's written for ubuntu it probably applies in this case too.

Hmm... Maybe you should file a bug, since the cookie should go into .Xauthority (and does if you use xinit IIRC).

Hmmm...I've been annoyed by them for a while now (months perhaps?), but always just assumed it was normal behavior.  I knew they were X-related and I always just deleted them before running <code>startx</code>, but perhaps it would be a good thing for a bug report.
