That's the part I don't know how to do!!!  How do I attach to it?
So far, the most I can do is ssh into the desktop then run an individual
program.. I didn't have xhost set, which is why I couldn't do anything
before, so atleast now I can run individual apps.

Well, this is all at home and it's only my laptop/server/desktop on the
network, so I don't care about security with this.  But it's a good idea
for work..  Though, once I run Xnest, I just get an empty X window..  I
guess I'm missing something.
