Hi,
I found a solution to my problem.

# find /etc/X11 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep nolisten
     /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp
gave me the clue
After reading the document , I stopped gdm, played a little bit with
xinit and a custom .xinitrc
johand@horus:~$ cat .xinitrc
xhost +johan &
exec xterm
I could run remote X programs.

But this didn't change anything with the gdm manager.
I had to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
and put DisallowTCP to false

I can now run xemacs from my (localnet remote laptop ...!)
Thanks for the hint.

Johan
