yeees! "-nolisten tcp" was activated in startx. Together with the xhost 
command I was able to make the first step:

A new display :1 is created, with the grey background of X and I can move the 
mouse cursor between both machines

Now I'll see how to connect KDE to the new display, or better: how to use xdmx 
per default.


Thanks @all
