Most of it. But I'm a bit confused. running xhost says only  
authorized clients can connect, but the list is empty. This indicates  
that one of the other mechanisms of access control is active, but  
my .Xauthority file is empty. So I'm not really sure how this stuff  
works.

I'm also a wee bit sleep deprived right now, so I may just be missing  
something completely obvious.
