By default, Xserver does not allow a foreign application to open a new window.
You should run xhost + in a window belonging to the user running the X server.

As about running multiple versions of lyx on the same Unix platform, it seems 
that
it is easier when you compile from source than with a package manager.
Here I configure --with-version-suffix=lyx-1.3.x so that private directories are
called ~/.lyx-1.3.x, even after linking /usr/local/lyx to /usr/local/lyx-1.3.x
In that manner, it remains possible to call lyx (aka lyx-1.3.6) and lyx-1.3,4
with two separate personal custom dirs (no ~/.lyx dir with this).

It's necessary to update manually the newly created custom dir when upgrading,
to retrieve personal bindings and such.
