on the debian machine:

cd /etc

grep -nri "nolisten tcp" *

remove the  "-nolisten tcp" from any files that come up, and restart your
X server(and/or your display manager)

you can confirm that it is removed and restarted by telnetting to localhost
on port 6000 (you won't see anything other then a successful connection)

ideally you should tunnel your stuff over ssh:

ssh -l username -v -C hostname -X

(is my preferred method for launching SSH)
