    The new user does not own the X Window and so it can't run xhost - not even root.

    In your case did you start X Windows as the root user?

    Hello-

    You always have to do xhost + with the user id that you started the X server as.

    If you are running CDE with the dtwm window manager, you can check to see what user logged in by:
    ps -ef | grep dtwm

    The value in the first column is the user id that you need to be in order to xhost +
