You have to run it as the user in control of the X session, not as the user
trying to gain access. Run "xhost +localhost" as the user running X.
Incedentally, take a look at kernel-package (install fakeroot with it), and
the readme under /usr/share/doc/kernel-package. You don't have to be root to
configure and compile the kernel, only to install it. You do have to have
permissions to read/write the directory structure for the kernel, but that's
easy enough to do.

That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
