I've gotten so used to that that I stupidly forgot to mention it. Some googling when it happened (from the time I first got the MB) indicated that it was some problem between X and the via card, and was basically harmless, so I never investigated it. The upgrade to xorg-6.9.0 went without issue on the other box (with an ATI card) so I still wonder if this xauthority issue has to do with the card. (It was so long ago that I googled--as I said, when I first put in the MB) I've forgotten the issues. I will try again tonight, perhaps removing .Xauthority each time I close X.
