An application may have auth info from a non-standard source. In
particular, display managers that work like xdm (kdm, gdm, etc.) have
their own special auth info. Currently, these pass that into Xlib, which
uses the above functions to pass it on to XCB.

Yeah, I guess so. It's just a pair of counted strings, containing the
name of the auth mechanism to use, and the value to use with it.
