Unless your X connection is not working, I believe you can safely
ignore that error message.

Well, more to the point for me... why does this happen? It certainly shouldn't, and I've done everything I can to eliminate the message.

Though I once fixed the same message in a previous incarnation of
X11.app (Jaguar? Panther?), nothing I've tried works now.  Even
regenerating the .Xauthority files failed.

Yes, I still get correct forwarding behavior, but I have some older
scripts that depended on terminal output, and if that message appears,
it blows them away.
