Hello,

When I try to use the Tk driver, I get the error "X server insecure",
which is pasted into the email below.  How do I get around this?  This
is on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 "Karmic Koala", a Debian-package managed system.
When I search for this error in Google, I find this wiki.tcl.tk page
that was last updated in 2003:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/1829

There's some finger-wagging about insecure systems, and then it seems to
recommend doing some minor surgery, removing hosts using this script:

#!/bin/sh
 for host in 'xhost | sed 1d' ; do
    echo removing $host from access control list
    xhost -$host
 done
 echo removing general access from access control list
 xhost -


While that works, it seems a little strange that I have to do this just
to run a Tcl/Tk application, and it gives me pause if I consider
building an "Extended WISH" that uses Tk, as described in the PLplot
documentation.

What does the PLplot community recommend in this situation?

All the best,
David
