Personally I don't use the xhost thang. I don't mind bash running as
root but I don't even want to accidentally start some GUI program as

apt is all you need for managing Debian packages, and your choice of
non-GUI editor for editing config files.
But as mentioned in cases you need to do that, just xhost +local:0 and after
finishing the job xhost -local:0
