I snooped around and found the following. /etc/X11/xinit/ has a subdir
named xinitrc.d that contains X startup scripts. Out-of-the-box FC6
has two there: xinput.sh and localuser.sh. The latter is the culprit;
it reads:

#!/bin/sh
[ -x /usr/bin/xhost ] && [ -x /usr/bin/id ] &&
    xhost +si:localuser:`id -un`

I simply moved this file out of the directory, and now my X starts
with nothing in the xhost list. Exmh runs with no complaining. There must be 
some applications that need si:localuser:<userid> in the xhost list, but I 
haven't run into any.
