Wah! This is a *big* security risk - anyone one your computer can see your
screen (and passwords, keystrokes,...)
You need a file called .Xauthority in your home directory - AFAIK it is made
by the Xserver on startup. It should look something like this (the
permissions are important - it must not be readable by anyone else):
[2]wyvern:~$ ls -l .Xauthority
-rw------- 1 bridgett mdev2 150 Feb 23 19:27 .Xauthority
Try looking at the "xauth" manpage.
