Just a tip - 'xhost +local:' is a slightly more secure alternative than just 'xhost +'. Both of them allow any user to connect to the display, but the former only accepts connections from the local machine. The latter allows connections from any machine that can see yours - e.g, someone could set their DISPLAY to your IP, and start opening windows on your screen (or monitoring keystrokes). Probably redundant if you're running a firewall but still a good habit to get into. Simon.
