Is this related to the use of xhost on your computer?  'xhost' will show which
computers are allowed to run x stuff on the machine.  In fact, I think xhost is
used to prevent this sort of mischief.  Your systems may have xhost set too
loosely: check those settings first.

This is not a python related answer... *grin* Python is great, but sometimes
other approaches are necessary.
