magpie is 'doze box, so all I need do is:

grant@sempro:~$ DISPLAY=magpie:0 xterm &

then launch graphics apps from that xterm? It works!

The error:
grant@sempro:~$ vmware &
[1] 3411
grant@sempro:~$ Xlib: connection to "magpie:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Xlib: connection to "magpie:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


[1]+ Done vmware

happens with xhost status ('doze):
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:magpie.mire.mine.nu
LOCAL:
INET:localhost
Press any key to continue . . .

The working way is with:
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
INET:magpie.mire.mine.nu
LOCAL:
INET:localhost
Press any key to continue . . .

Another piece of the puzzle I don't need access control here, but
now I know the source of that last error message, being able to switch
it on and off, thanks: michael2, for what became:
