Not compile time as the only available switch is '-nolisten <proto>'
there is no equivelent -listen switch.

If you're using a graphical login (xdm, wdm, gdm, ...), the config for
the Display manager is used not /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, which is
used when you "startx" from the commandline.

Using wdm the gonfig you want is in /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers.  Since all
of these display managers are essentially hacked versions of xdm, I
suspect the file conventions are the same.
