For what it's worth I installed the packages for Ubuntu on Mint and it is working. Have I introduced a grave security problem?
Maybe, maybe not. Read through the bug description, try to reproduce the issue, check for the presence of that /etc/xdg/autostart/mint-xhost-plus.desktop file and its content.
Addendum: the easiest way to check whether security is currently enabled is to log on as a regular user, and run "xhost" (without the quotes, and without any parameters) in an xterm.
In my case (Debian Wheezy, not Mint), it replies with:
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect SI:localuser:MYUSERNAMEHERE
And your output, if you're safe, should look similar.
If the first line, however, reads
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
then you have an issue. A serious one.
