uhm just a question.... you tryed that for yourself? as of some time now
on debian per default the X server is started without the TCP part...
that was done for security reasons i think cause too much people kept
their xauth wide open....

but this means also that only the local machine might connect to the
Xserver, but no machine on the network.... 

and i am looking on to where to switch on again the TCP part, to let the
X server listen on the net as well....
