This also happens on Tiger, 10.4.11. This feature was introduced some  
time ago with some update I don't remember exactly. Since Apple  
support folks tell me since a long time to migrate to Leopard to get  
my reported bugs fixed I never made a bug report. I think putting my  
Mac to sleep is not sufficient to trigger this feature, the re-use of  
X11 has to happen at least next day, i.e., date of launch time and  
date of use time have to be different by at least one day. I don't  
remember what problems I had then and what I tried to solve it. My  
work-around since then is to copy my ~/.Xauthority file into root's  
home directory. Next day I can invoke xhost as root and I have access  
again – until I need to launch X again.
