DON'T EVER DO THAT.

If you do, you completely give up all security, and anyone else can
(in essence) do anything with your machine, including dumping the
contents of your screen, reading keyboard events, and inserting
arbitrary commands into applications, (like xterm).

Use xauth(1), or even better some kind of secure X forwarding tool
(such as ssh or kx).
