X requires you to have permissions to access the running X server to
display any output on your screen. Usually (on well-configured systems),
this is supposed to be restricted to the user that is actually running
the current X session, IIRC. Something like 'xhost +' basically should
allow anyone (on your system) to connect to X hence to display any
graphical output. For more fine-grained xhost access configuration, "man
1 xhost" is your friend.

Cheers,
Kris
