It doesn't.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ gksudo -u chuser qupzilla
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ xhost + ; gksudo -u chuser qupzilla
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
QupZilla: 0 extensions loaded
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ xhost -
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
