Hello David,

(I add the marionnet-dev list in CC in order to publish the question 
and answer).

There are apparently two distinct problems in your installation:

1) the service /etc/init.d/marionnet-daemon is not started at boot 
time; if it is the case, try to fix the problem or directly launch the 
service *before* marionnet (and once for the session) with root 
priviledges:

sudo /etc/init.d/marionnet.daemon start &

2) your X server doesn't accept tcp connections. You can test with a 
simple:

ps aux | grep nolisten

in order to see if X is launched with the option "--nolisten tcp". In 
this case, try to remove this setting according to your connection 
manager (gdm, kdm, lightdm,..).

Hope this helps,
Jean-Vincent
