I would like to use SDDM but had to switch back to LightDM as I could not find a way to turn off the option '-nolisten tcp' and I need to be able to connect to my X from remote machines...

The only places I can find any reference to that option are the binary itself and the log file:

[root@x-ray ~]# locate sddm|xargs grep -lr nolisten
/usr/bin/sddm
/var/log/sddm.log

Am I missing something?

Not a developer of sddm, but a quick grep throught the sources for "nolisten" only finds on instance:

src/daemon/XorgDisplayServer.cpp: << "-nolisten" << "tcp"

So a patch is easy, though a compile time option or ideally a config setting would be better, imho.

We need to get the xorg startup arguments from sddm.conf. I think this should be in 1.0 tbh, but it'll depend if anyone wants to pick it up. Marking.

@plfiorini
Do not force -nolisten tcp 
Set the new ServerArguments setting with "-nolisten tcp" by default.
Users that don't want it will simply override the setting.

Closes #325
