This sort of message generally means that someone not authorized to
connect to your X server tried to connect anyway.  Since the host was
the local host, it probably means that a user not the one who started
the X session tried to run an X client on the display.  This can
happen if root tried to run a client on another user's display, or
vice versa.

You can turn off this security by typing `xhost +localhost' at an
xterm prompt; thenceforth during that X session any user on the local
computer will be able to run clients.

BTW, why don't you add a Reply-To: header?  There is no host
