I don't fully understand it, but in my 7.1 home directory, xhost+localhost is
the first line in my .xinitrc file.  I really don't remember when I put it
there, but as the upgrades have come and gone, .xinitrc has remained the same in
my home directory which stays the same from one version to the next.
