Debian configures X11 (by default) to not accept internet connections.
You'll need to remove "-nolisten tcp" from your display mangler's conf
file.
Quick grep:
stefan:~$ grep -Flri nolisten /etc/X11/
/etc/X11/X
grep: warning: /etc/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults: recursive directory loop
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
/etc/X11/gdm/factory-gdm.conf
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
Note: X11 has a number of security problems with going over a network.
ssh forwarding is recommended...
