Bob,
You are on to something. My ps -ef does show that nolisten was passed to
the command stream. Now, the question is, where do I go to modify this
behavior?
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
#DisallowTCP=true
Uncomment and change to false. Restart gdm.
Please bear in mind that opening up remote X isn't a great idea from a
security point of view. Using X tunnelling though ssh is a much better
idea. (Simply do ssh -X user@hostname from your remote machine).
