What is causing this problem with :0?

Hello all,

Well, I DID manage to get Fedora 1 installed from hard disk. But now I 
have a serious problem: I can't write to window ":0". I need to for some 
background programs I am running.

OK, on a machine where :0 works on RH 9, doing a grep shows:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7

But, on my Fedora machine, it shows:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7

I *do* want it to listen, I guess. So, what controls this and how do I fix 
it to look like the command at top?

Thank you for any help!
