Apparently something is unaware of the X0.hosts file created in /etc.  
I've added my hosts IAW the standard format, i.e., INET: xx.xx.xx.xx but 
it is not recognized.  Manually adding a host with the xhost + command 
does in fact create that host access, but as soon as X is restarted, it 
goes away.  Suggestions as to what next ?
