I then used the xterm to ssh into the remote linux box, and played around to find out how to launch gnome. I was then making a script to do everything automatically from my mac, but I accidentally launched my old script which uses a -query. For some reason it worked. A similar problem happened on Xquartz in 10.5 that again went away. I guess something got set on my mac, because I can now use "Xephyr :10 -query remotebox" on linux and HP CDE boxes.

I'm glad there is someone who is still trying since it is inevitable that some version of Snowleopard will become the default. I need to have stable platforms for the upcoming experimental run so I will stop "upgrading" until at least September 2010.
