Bad advice these days, many distros configure X to not even listen to
the tcp port anymore.  (Look at your process list and see if /usr/bin/X
was started with -nolisten tcp) And if there is any sort of iptables
configured it will also block X from any non-localhost address.  For now
we can still use ssh for remote app display but Wayland promises to
bring the days of network transparency to a sad end.

Weep for the death of The UNIX Way.  By the time Linux achieves the long
awaited 'world domination' it will be indistinguishable from what it
replaced.  No network transparency, 'everything is a file' replaced with
'everything is an API', Windows services and the registry.  Humbug.

Oh, and just to be pendantic, while an X server is not required to send
a program's display to another server, you already installed the X
client libs and X basic apps to meet the dependencies of any program
capable of a graphical display.
