suse: how to override X security settings

[Steve Jardine]

Which version of SUSE?

I am running 9.2, and have tried 10.0. In both I just do a xhost for the system
that will be exporting windows to me, and then set the DISPLAY on the remote
system, and then start the X app. In a few cases I have to start the 
x app with -display remote_system:0.0.

Does this not work?
