Looking at the FAQ, it seems to be a problem with my firewall, which is
McAffee Personal Firewall 4, which i use to protect my broadband Connection. Has

Give XWin.exe and any X programs you use permission to access IP
127.0.0.1 on all ports and protocols, and XWin.exe specifically needs
server rights under the same conditions.
