You can set the display, but you will only be able to connect to that
display if you are authorized. If you use a different account then you
probably don't have the XAuthority cookey for access to that display.

(This is a good reason why 'xhost +localhost' should not be used, at
least not in such a computer, or if you don't fully trust all the local
users...)
