svn://, http:// not working (was svnserve -r option does not work with svn+ssh)

This was a real "Ah-hah!" moment for me. Connecting by svn:// alone had 
never worked.

The problem seems to be that xinetd never starts svnserve. If I start 
the daemon with

svnserve -d

then I can make svn:// connections.

Is it possible that the problem with http:// not working is similar?
How can I tell whether httpd ever activates svnserve?

Here's anothe "Ah-hah!" moment for you, then:

httpd never uses svnserve.

Go read chapter 6 of the svnbook, and come back with questions if anything 
is still unclear.

You should really read chapter 6 of the Subversion book:
  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06.html

httpd never lauches svnserve.  It accesses the repository directly via 
mod_dav_svn.
