That error message actually looks like an explicit rejection -- you're not running with authority (a magic cookie file in your directory), and you didn't enter the command: xhost +localhost (Or maybe _xhosts_, I never use it because I run with authority at work, and I don't even use X at home ... I use OS/2 PM and various Microsoft OSes, and run FreeBSD on a headless server.)
