Launching apps in a new X display?

[Michael Gilbert <michael.s.gilbert@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

i am using Debian Sarge and am trying to launch an application in a new X
server.  if I do

  $ xinit -- :1

the X server is indeed launched, but the default xterm application does not
start.  if i look at the terminal that i launched xint from, i see a
lot of repeating
error messages that say

  AUDIT: Sun Jun 26 17:19:18 2005: 16651 X: client 1 rejected from local host
  Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
  Xlib: No protocol specified

is there a security setting that needs to be relaxed to allow client application
communication with the new X server on display 1 ?

thanks for any help.

Mike
