X over a network

Sure SSH is a choice!!

Though it may not be listed in the x-session setup boxes. But that's
when you think outside of the box!!! I do't set up an X-session using
Exceeds session wizard. Instead I just start the Exceed Server, then
ssh into my box using putty, then I call the following script (wich I
threw together):

______________________________________________________________________
_____
#!/bin/sh
#
#

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.3:0.0

icewm &

______________________________________________________________________
_____

It executes, opens the WM and away things go. You can substitute
icewm with gnome-session, startkde, etc etc for your favorite WM's
executable. Remember the & at the end so the script drops you back to
a command prompt. You can then either close the putty session or keep
it open.
