Sorry for replying o myself here. A bit more into:
I did some Googling and it seemed to suggest that I should look at
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and make sure that DisallowTCP=true is commented
out. Actually in my file that is already commented out so I'm
wondering if this is the right config file. It is the only one I find
with slocate.

Is there some other config file on FC2 that effects this sort of thing? 

Maybe it's somethign completely different though. 

[mark at Godzilla mark]$ xeyes
[mark at Godzilla mark]$ xeyes -display :0
[mark at Godzilla mark]$ xeyes -display :0.0
[mark at Godzilla mark]$ xeyes -display :1
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
 
Error: Can't open display: :1
[mark at Godzilla mark]$

As I understand this protocol using :1.0 or :0.0 is local
communication while Godzilla:1.0 would be tcpip based. If that's true
I cannot even start an app from display :0 on display :1 locally!

Thanks in advance,
Mark
