Keep in mind that using 'xhost +' will also let _any_ host see _any_
keypresses that take place in the desktop's X Windows. (presuming your x
windows is bound to a TCP socket)

Rather than remove all traces of security on your system, you may want
to use 'xhost +laptop' on the desktop. This will only allow access from
the laptop.
