How are you starting X? You are not starting it as one user and trying to
run apps as another user are you? If so, then you will be trying to run
things as a user that does not have privilege to do so. They the error
messages.
You might try executing 'xhost +' as the same user that started X. If that
clears up the problem, you should take a look at the xhost man page and
figured out how to refine the access control for the user accounts you
are using.
