Start the server with command switch -ac. This will disable Access
Control. Unfortunatly this will enable access from everywhere. But
in noncritical use, this should not be a big problem.
Unfortunatly -ac won't work with Xvfb and Xggi. They only print
something like "Unsupported Option" and show the command switches in
Messageboxes (and -ac as 2nd or 3rd)
