 I am connected to internet via a cable modem with built-in router, an AVM
 FRITZ!Box 6360. This establishes, maybe when NAT is activated or when it's
 set as DNS server, a fake domain, "fritz.box". The hostname command
 therefore seems to return "hostname.fritz.box". When the startx @1.3.2
 script passes this name to xauth, xauth assumes a fully qualified domain
 name – and this needs to have the attribute /unix added to the hostname,
 according to the documentation.

 The proper cure seems to be in checking whether hostname returns a name
 with ".". If true, then with cut or awk the first component can be
 extracted and used later on...

 This effect only happens on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11. On PPC Leopard,
 Mac OS X 10.5.8, hostname returns hostnames.local, so no problem. On intel
 Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.8, "hostname.fritz.box" produces no problem.
