Not the same system, unfortunately. In my startx, that line is blank. However, 
you gave me an idea - I searched for nolisten in the entire /etc/X11 tree and 
found one in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf - commented out, however. It could have 
defaulted the other way, so I explicitly added the line DisallowTCP=false - 
still no luck. Then I changed the command in gdm.conf from

command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0

to

command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 -listen_tcp

but I still can't see it. ps still gives

/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7

***So who adds this nolisten??? Apparently, /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf has no 
effect???

Any help appreciated.

Mark
