Public bug reported:

/usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank has the following line:

xset dpms force off

On a just updated feisty, Fn+F3 (my screenblank key) will not work because of a 
refused connection:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xset:  unable to open display ":0"

"xhost +" solved the problem for me. I don't have any special
configuration here, I don't discard however that something here got
broken by me and not by ubuntu. Reporting just in case.

** Affects: acpi-support (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
