I believe with xhost you can tell it which protocol to use.  e.g. 'xhost
+inet6:localhost:0.0', but when I tried something like that, it couldn't 
resolve
the inet6 address (I don't have any IPv6 addresses, just thought it'd be nice 
to
have support).

I'm thinking of removing all IPv6 from my system, as all it does is cause
problems and there's not much IPv6 support out there atm.
