xhost is ridden with security problems, use the xauth method. Anyone on
any host in your xauth table can view your screen, even change things like
remap your keyboard, while you are completely unaware that it is
happening. If you have typed xauth +myhost at some point, any user on
myhost can see exactly what you are seeing any time they want to.
