No. Login to the laptop, then telnet/rlogin/ssh to the other machine.
You can have as many connections, etc., as you wish. They will be
running from the remote machine, but displaying on the local machine.
You may need to run some extra programs somewhat differently (for
example, you may need to start programs from the command line
vice via a Gnome button), but otherwise everything would be the
same.

I want to run X on my desktop machine but I want it to be displayed on
my laptop. In other words, I want it to be exactly as if I was sitting
at my desk running it on the monitor there but I want it on my laptop
instead. The programs and files I want to run and access, respective
ly are all on the desktop computer.
I assume that I need to login to my desktop computer, then get X to run
there but display on the laptop. I this not right?
