Full login user's environment

Hello,

I'm trying to find out how to have a full user's login environment
of a remote host displayed on my Mac. By this I mean having
X11 display the remote machine's login/password program as
displayed on the VGA screen directly connected to the machine,
and entering a username/password and have the full environment
displayed as if I were sat at the machine itself. So far I have managed
to get remote display of individual applications on the Mac using
ssh -X user@machine but they have to all be started up from the
command line - it would be much better to have the menus which
the (Mandrake Linux) machine provides to the directly connected
user.

Is this possible with the Apple X11 application? I've seen it done
on PCs and Solaris boxes so in principle it should be possible...

Regards,

Tim Hewett.
