Well, you'll probably also need port 6000 (x11) and perhaps 7100
(xfs).
The other thing is that most X configurations these days don't open
themselves to remote access. You'll have to tweak things a bit. If
you're using GNOME, you'll want to start in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.
Look for the [xdmcp] section. (If you're using a more generic X login
manager, look in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess.)
