To followup on the last q, port 6000 is used by X11 if you enable tcp 
listening option ( part of startx or in gdm config file)
This is considered a non secure situation and not recommended, but it 
leaves the risk of swift using a same port as x11 if an admin chooses to 
use the tcp listen option for remote X11 connections (vnc)
