If you have some script controlling X11's startup (~/.xsession ?) you
can put the xhost command there.

xauth can do this.  As you normal self do this:

xauth generate unix:0.0 . trusted
xauth extract /tmp/me.xauth unix:0.0
chmod 666 /tmp/me.xauth
su - gnucash
xauth merge /tmp/me.xauth
exit
rm /tmp/me.xauth

I *think* this will work.

Using ssh instead of su might be easier.
