If it's just on the Rpi, then an "xhost +" opens that door, at the cost
of security. If it's when a remote host attempts to display on the Rpi,
and "xhost +my_other_host" isn't enough, then commenting out the line
containing "/usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp" in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc should
do the trick. (I saw oldtimers coming, and made notes.)

I'm not certain that it's safe to mix running apt-get and aptitude.
(Never been game to try it to find out.) So I never run aptitude, and
I've never had it all turned to goulash. (Who says pessimism isn't a
survival attribute?)
