Debian has some security defaults for the X server, like the
"-nolisten tcp" option (guess what it does :)).
If you use startx to start the X session, look into /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
and edit the default options.
If using xdm/kdm, change the default options in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.
Another way of getting remote X is ssh. Log into a remote machine
like this:
ssh -X username@hostname
The X display will be forwarded (and encrypted) by ssh automagically.
This works even with the "-nolisten tcp" option set.
bye,
Chris
