Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

Brian,

Thanks. I was heading in the direction of doing something like you 
suggested (though I am not sure how to stop gdm and not log myself out), 
but I thought there has to be a better way. Though it may be the case 
that I have other X communication problems, based on ps (showing the 
command arguments), I am sure that Xorg is still running with the 
argument that disables listening for TCP/IP traffic and I am sure that 
Xorg will behave as it is instructed.
