There are no firewall rulesets between the two boxes. Even
'X -query localhost' on the server produces the same error message.
What I found out so far is that simply replacing the xdm binary on the
server with a copy from potato (xfree 3.3.6) works. Another workaround is to
create a file /etx/Xn.hosts (where n is the display number) on the client
containing the server's hostname but this is ugly too.

Yes, GDM was working out of the box. But I don't like to install 17
packages to get my display manager working. I'll keep on trying ...
Best regards and thanks for your answer,
