X11 tricks

[adler at stephenadler.com (Stephen Adler)]

I want to thank everyone for helping me out with this problem.

The final fix was the following. Run gdmsetup which pops open
a gui with several tabbed displays. Clicking on the Security tab,
has a checkbox option of not allowing tcp connections which was
checked. I 'unchecked it', logged out (i.e. <ctl><alt><backsp>)
and relogged in under gdm. The X server would then allow direct
tcp connections.

It looks like gnome is shipped so that direct connections are
disallowed by default. kde, I suspect ships with direct tcp connections
allowed by default.

Cheers. Steve.

Go SOX!
