With an earlier X11 beta and SuSE 7.2 (instead of 8.2) I was able to
get a login screen by simply issuing
X :3 -query safe
and having (un)commented one line in one file on the Linux server.
Now I can't get it to work, I don't remember what I did, and it doesn4t
seem to matter if
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
if commented or not. Currently it is commented

You should probably just add the host you are connecting from, as this
is pretty insecure.
Actually, there's probably a way to do this over ssh using port
forwarding. I'll look into that.
No, there isn't. XDM uses UDP, which is a no-go with ssh port
forwarding.
So, the best thing to do is to recomment the * Xaccess, then just ssh
over and run whatever xdm runs for the session (most likely
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.)
