Thanks for the pointer.

I'm probably being stupid here, and I should have mentioned that I had 
already tried 'man Xorg' and 'man Xsession'. I appreciate that the answer 
is probably to put '-nolisten tcp' somewhere, but where?

As far as I can see, XDM invokes /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession, which 
seems to do little more than call $HOME/.xsession. This last runs /usr/
local/bin/startlxde,  which in turn invokes /usr/local/bin/lxsession (a 
binary).

I have looked at 'man lxsession' and found it of little help. So I'm 
rather lost. Can you amplify a little?
