[TriLUG] x windows nolisten option

[Geoff Purdy]

I didn't read your initial post carefully.  After a second reading, it looks
like you've already tried what I suggested below.  FWIW, I too am running
KDE on RHL7.2 and it worked in my case.  Only thing I did differently is I
used 'nmap -p 1- localhost' to determine that the port was closed.  Don't
know if that makes any difference?
