Be very careful with "xhost +", from the xhost manpage:

  +       Access is granted to everyone, even if they aren't on the list (i.e., access control is turned off).

X is also a network-transparent protocol, so read-write access to your
display from any user on your system or potentially on the network opens
the door wide for keyloggers or other ways to steal passphrases, data on
disk, etc.


live well,
