To run a xterm from another box, you only need to set the DISPLAY
environment variable on the remote host to point to your local host
before invoking xterm. Running a windowmanager remotely to manage your
local machine's X-server can also be done in the same manner - the
caveat here is to make sure there are no local window-managers aleady
running on your local machine.
