Short answer: don't use xhost. You can replace it with the much
better xauth:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# xhost +localhost # Don't! use xauth instead:
#
# While logged in as your regular user:
# xauth list # if you already have keys, skip next.
# xauth generate . # perform if you have no auth file.
# xauth nextract $USER.xa $DISPLAY # should be the only step needed.
#
# # now login to other
# # account/machine (ie., root).
#
# export DISPLAY=$HOSTIP:0.0
# xauth nmerge ~your_user/your_user.xa # now you can use your_user's
# # auth while logged in as root.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
