In your /usr/X11R6/bin/startx file, add -nolisten tcp to the server args section. Add the option between the two quotes " ". This will shut off port 6000. serverargs="-nolisten tcp"
Doing this is what I consider to be a Good Thing.

Nice. Should be in How I Did It though, so I'll move it there but keep a locked copy here so everyone who visits this forum can see it.
