All of the suggestions were more or less appropriate, but I think a more secure way to grant another user the right to run programs on your display is to use xauth. See the xauth manpage for more details, but I use
xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh otherhost xauth merge - to allow *only* myself on otherhost to connect to the current display. If I had used something like "xhost +otherhost" then anyone on otherhost could snoop my display, or whatever... -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
