I forget how to do that. Can't you just ssh to desktop, then run something
like "startx -- :1"? Might actually need to start X on the desktop, then
attach to it from the laptop.

BTW, from laptop X try sshing to desktop, then running Xnest. It works
pretty well across a local network. Sucks across the 'Net. Xnest over ssh
would also make all the commo secure.
