You might want to look at x2x Basically you run the following: On the Server: xhost +desktop_hostname On your machine: x2x -to servershostname:0.0 -west You just need to change exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp to exec /usr/bin/X in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc (I did it both for the host and client machines)
