I believe that what you want to do is to run the X11 server on your
Mac, but the windows manager on the remote server. You can comment out
any windows manager in your ~/.xinitrc file: for instance, quartz-wm.
You will probably want to start an xterm. From the xterm, log into the
remote system via ssh -X and type the command used on that system to
start your window manager of choice.

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.
