Adding -display to xhost should not work. If you read the man page, it tells you that
-display wont work because it's interpreted as a host called display, and it would
disable access for that host because you used the minus ('-') notation.
I know what I did (in my last mail) seems difficult, but I believe that its the
correct solution. The only issue is that anyone logged in as otheruser can now open
windows on my VNC display.

Ok, granted I can say xhost+ and it works, but then I have disabled all my
X security. Starting VNC with -ac also disables all security. Does anyone
know the right command xhost or xauth to add just the user. I have looked
at the man pages and tied a buch of combinations with no success.
xhost +nis:user@
addes access for user 'user', but apparently not for the VNC disaply
host:1.0
xauth generate does not work on my host, and I dont have any key data for
the add command.

Guess Im not an X expert.
