Thanks to you and Ron I now know that port 6000 is being used by X11.
And in fact, if I ssh at a terminal without starting X I can connect.
But then, of course, I can't start X!

How can this be resolved? It must  be possible because it works on two
other computers, just not on this one.

Compare /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc across the systems. Mine, devoid of whitespace and comments, simply says:

    $ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
    exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp

Googling "-nolisten tcp" should point you in the right direction.
