CAREFUL! xhost + lets ALL other machines access your display. This is
not normally a good idea. It's better to do a

This will allow only the host that you specify to access your display.
Quite a bit safer. It's still rather dangerous, as it doesn't see what
account on the remote host is accessing your display. It just lets all
users on that specific host display X apps on your screen. xauth is
better, but I don't know how to use it.
