Another point being missed, is that if the hostname gets changed the
moment an external IP interface is brought up, X becomes unusable
because suddenly the magic cookie isn't found (the server and
.Xauthority think it's "localhost" and the client thinks it's
"some-dynamic-ip-xx-yy-zz.imaginative-dsl-provider.com").

So adding it to /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1 (or, as I do, 127.0.0.x where
x > 1) helps a lot(!)
