Looks like you might have misread Michael's post the same way I did,
initially: "xhost +" would allow anyone to use the current user's X11
server.
"xhost +root" would (according to the manpage) allow user _root_ to use
the current user's X11 server.
We've both probably been telling people "No, don't do "xhost +" for so
long that it's a reflexive reply.
