I use named (DNS) to resolve all of my host names so my /etc/hosts file
is empty. Right now my X server is allowing connections (I restarted
it with "startx -listen_tcp") so I'm convinced that that was it (still
doesn't explain why it used to work).

Yep.

This is what I get right now:
bob@luke:pa /home/bob> sockstat -l4|grep XFree86
root     XFree86  41464    1 tcp4   *:6000                *:*

but it's working now also.

I updated from source. I cvsup the cvs repo and update my /usr/src tree
from that with cvs.
