Question about gnome and X11 Auth

I have an X11 program that requires one of the X11 authorization
protocols to be set for it to run.
Using twm as a window manager I just build the file .xserverrc to
include
#!/bin/sh
newcookie -md5
exec X -auth ${HOME}/.Xauthority -dpi 100
and newcookie contains (with -md5 set) contains
#!/bin/sh
key=`ps laxw | md5`
HOST=`hostname`
xauth add ${HOST}/unix:0 . $key
xauth add ${HOST}:0 . $key
Now this would seem to be independent of the window manager used,
but using gnome, I get the message that no auth has been set, so I
have to assume that even tho this code is executed, that gnome then
does something to clear the values set [[ its been a long time, anyone
remember how to check what auth is set? ]]
So my question is: What is gnome doing?
and how do I get an auth set when using gnome?
