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.
