If the machine is single user, such as mine, there's no harm in opening
xhost to localhost. But yes, if it's a shared machine with multiple users
and sessions, it's not THAT good an idea.
 

There's also sux on some distros (if you don't have kde installed).

What else would you use it for? As a "WW" I have come to Linux via Ubuntu
and intend to learn Linux by working backwards from the "windows-like"
environment just for the hell of it. I don't think that's a "bad thing" but
at the end of the day my PC is there to make my life easier.

Fabulous! Thunderbird used a very robust design philosophy, of keeping
its components simple and very standard formats, that I treasure in
open source software.

The only excuse for Evolution is Microsoft Exchange access, which it
does not do that well at last check: I found its interactions with the
Exchange calendar.... unfortunate.
