Now it is certainly possible to disable the TCP X transport (using the -notcp option when starting the server), but I don't think it is "normal".

It is certainly "normal" for Debian -- you have to take out the --nolisten tcp manually if you want it to listen to tcp traffic

That's strange because I remember doing specifically on my Debian system. But obviously my memory is not infallible; I didn't even remember the option correctly. It is in the form you posted, though I just checked the man page and it is only prefixed with one hyphen.
