Ports above 1024 are free for any user program like gnome-session to use.
It's nothing to do with any nterm service. If you had an nterm service it
would use port 1026 perhaps, but you don't, so gnome-session is using it.

gnome-session listens on a TCP port and other gnome programs connect to it.
Gnome is, after all, the GNU *Network* Object Model Environment, which is
probably why it uses TCP/IP for exchanging info between components.
As to why it listens on all interfaces, pass, probably it needs to so gnome
apps running on different machines can communicate.
