Be carefull!!!

When you allow TCP connection in gdm, the result is that remote
clients can connect to your gdm, and from there start a session in
your machine, using their own display.

This is different to what Ben was trying to do, just to diplay a
remote's application in your local display. For this, he should follow
the advices of using ssh -X.
