I want to run X clients on a remote machines and display on my Debian 7.6 machine. I recognize the security risk. I usually run the lxde desktop. I see that gdm3 is starting the Xorg server with "-nolisten tcp" arguments. I read that this can be disabled by editing /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf to add under the [security] heading: "DisallowTCP=false". I tried this but that did not stop gdm3 from starting Xorg with the same arguments. Can anyone share any additional information on this? Thanks.
This might not be a good lead, but can you stop gdm3 on your machine, log in to a console, start X with startx and see if it works? Maybe there are startx options to allow TCP listening? If this works, then deal with gdm. If this doesn't work, does it mean the problem is elsewhere?
