I've never used x2x, but I know how X works.  I'm a little confused as
to what you are trying to do.  If you just need a way to make sure
that 'xhost +' gets run at KDE startup, you should be able to put that
in your .kde/Autostart directory.  Create an executable shell script
with just that line in it in your Autostart directory (usually
~/.kde/Autostart/).  The script will get run at KDE startup.
