Note that this is a security risk; its equivalent to doing an "xhost +", 
allowing any machine on the internet access to your X-display.  The curious 
can easily snoop anything you type (and search that for password), and can 
send in keystrokes as well.  If you turn on authorisation, these security 
problems go away... but authorising every connection can be a real pain.  

Just thought you should know,
