As far as I know, there's no reason to modify any files on FC5 if you
want to display its applications on a remote host.

In the past it HAS been necessary to do this--apparently for security's
sake the config files for the X server on Red Hat/Fedora (and others)
default to NOT accepting  client connections (see
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO.html#STEPS for example).

Well, for XDMCP, sure.  Most people don't do that, though.

My own opinion is that it's far easier and safer to use Fedora's default configuration, which allows you to ssh to the host and run X applications (or desktop), as I suggested previously.
