Just setup kdm/gdm/xdm to accept remote connections and then on the
local box, runn "startx -query REMOTEBOX :X&".  Replace X with whatever
your at.  I.e. xfree86 starts at :0, then :1, :2 etc.  If :0 is used
then use :1. I use this sort of thing to monitor several boxes.  Also,
and even better, run vnc on those remote boxes so you can keep your
session if you disconnect. I also do this for several boxes.  Just
remeber to export the DISPLAY variable before trying to run vncviewer.
