on Ubuntu, give a look at /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas and set
"security/DisallowTCP" to "false".

restart your X server and then write from a terminal where the DISPLAY
variable is properly set:

xhost +

note that the things of above allow access to your X server from any
devices in the network (an beyond) so it should really be something to
use only for debug purposes. For stricter security, check the
documentation about xhost and gdm.

the max-lateness option is in ns, so you've basically set the delay to
200ms. What if you try something more substantial, let's say more than
one second?

(not that I'm saying this is the best way to proceed, but I'm just curious).
