Xorg Auth (hoary)

Short Question:
How do I get Xorg to always allow local connections without having to type
"xhost +local:" every time I log out/reboot?

Longer Story:
I'm trying to run gaim as a restricted user (user:david-chat, group:david-chat;
groups:david-restricted,audio). I have sudo set up to allow me (david) to sudo
to any user in group david-restricted without a password, and that seems to be
working (it caused other problems, so I'm posting it for completeness). When I
run gaim as david-chat, it says that the connection to :0.0 wasn't allowed, so I
do "xhost +local:" to allow it. What I want to know is how to configure Xorg so
that the default ACLs allow all "local:"s.
