I wasn't talking about XDMCP. I was talking about X11 over tcp/ip.
XDMCP can use X11 over tcp/ip but it is not what I was talking about.
Some X11 applications don't work over the tunnel for some reason, so
you need to do:
local $ xhost + <ip of remote>
remote $ DISPLAY=<ip of local>:0
remote $ x-command-to-run
That should be sufficient. But to get to that state, you will need to
disable launchd starting X11, the automatic DISPLAY setting, and run /
usr/X11/X11.app manually to start X11.

true, ssh -X <host> <application> is one thing that does seem to
work pretty well. it all falls apart when you want to do the XDMCP
thing. (Not that I got a response when I posted my problems with
that... <poke/> :-P )

I don't see why you're not able to do this. I'm doing this right
now. ssh into the remote machine and run the remote application.
If you're not able to, then you probably have a problem with ssh
tunneling your X11 display. Check out the FAQ ( http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin_FAQ
) for info on fixing that.
If you need insecure tcp/ip connection instead of ssh tunneling,
then read my post from yesterday.
