This is exactly what I was looking for.

I know about the security issues but all the users on the machine are me.  I
trust myself.  The machine is set up with full firewall to the Internet.  When
I log on I am not worried about security between users because like I just
stated all users are me.

However, possibly due to the firewall I am still having problems.

libros:/home/adc # xhost +localhost
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
 
xhost:  unable to open display ":0.0"

Same thing happens with xhost +"hostname" and xhost +IP ADDRESS

Can anyone help?
