That's what I looked for... but the file wasn't there.  I looked
all over the place in the GUI for gdmsetup, or similar.
The security settings were even blocking yast2 and the control-center
from running on the X server I started manually.

I found what I was looking for under /etc/opt/gnome/gdm and
/opt/gnome/sbin/gdmsetup.  And under /usr/X11R6/bin/startx, which
disables tcp too.  And the firewall seemed to be running too, even though
I had disabled it on installation.  I've got "locate" installed now,
so I'm less likely to be thrown by binaries in odd places...

Things are running a lot smoother now, and Martin's GNAT builds
are working nicely (after disabling the technicolor prompt!), apart
from 'gate' (for building GUIs), which crashes horribly.

I'm still looking into the issue of 32-bit libraries with GLADE.
