[KLUG Members] can't open display for remote X app

[John Pesce]

Success!

On my Suse 10.0 box it uses kdm.
All I had to do was edit /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to comment
out the line ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
and restart kdm.

now it works. I didn't have to modify any other files.

I'll try my RHE boxes next, I think they use gdm.

Thanks everyone.
