I've been taking x11.
I did modify xhost because I wanted a php script be able to launch vim.
But I've restarted X now and xhost - shows the same as xhost. It still
works.

So <c-r>system('xhost') inserts:
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect

But I'm not sure.. wether I've enabled localhost..
Anyway, should this be possible?
I mean root and "somesuer" should be able to connect to X without
somesuer beeing able to run root tasks using --remote-send.. by default.

I've looked at vim code once.. On x it's using some weired gtk hack.. To
do this stuff.

I think you've tried it yourself and weren't able to reproduce it.. So I
think it's my setup only.
