I normally use xhost + on the server and export DISPLAY.... on
the client. I have a small home network behind a home firewall
router so I don't worry much about security and eavesdropping.
I will try using X forwarding with SSH though, since that is
a good practice to adopt.
I still am curious why the Debian box will not let clients
connect the bad way. I must be forgetting something else.
