Translate to another question: I use a normal user, but I want to use another user for another program, because I don't want that the programs can access to my data. The program has a GUI so I need at least to permit to that user or that program to acquire my screen. This was the scope of xhost. There is a reason for xhost works on fedora 14 and not on fedora 20? I mean, there is a tecnical reason, not a philosophical reason. For example, I know that vlc don't work as root because programmers choosed that. In that case I can change user and launch vlc as a less priviledged user. Now I can't and I would like to know why.
