--- Comment #1 from Olivier Fourdan <fourdan at xfce.org> ---
xhost is an X11 client, it needs to conenct to the Xserver itself to change the
acces control on the xserver.

What it tells you with "unable to open DISPLAY :1" is that it cannot connect to
the X server.

 - Is your Xserver running on display :1 ?
 - Is the user yyou execute "xhost" is allowed to conenc tto the Xserver :1?
   (for example, if you run "xhost +local:" as root, it won;t work, because
root is not allowed to conenct to the running X server of another user).
