Debian starts the X server with the '-nolisten tcp' option by
default. You need to find where the X server is starting from and
change the command option.

In my case (I use gdm to login) the file is /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, and the
command is near the end of the file. In reality, I've stayed with the
nolisten option. I use ssh these days instead of setting my DISPLAY by
hand.

Cheers!
