I use Gnome and gdm3 for login. I want my X11 server to listen for
TCP connections on port 6000 from remote machines. But I haven't
found anything in the documentation of gdm3 and in gdm's config files.

The default for the X server in Debian is not to listen to network
connections. See /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc. You've probably been looking
in the wrong place ...

GDM3 put some variables at "/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf" (e.g., "DisallowTCP =
false").

To get the current X parameters:

***@stt008:~$ ps ax | grep X
3166 tty7 SLs+ 12:59 /usr/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
4546 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep X
