With more than one X-server host, I would like to have not just an Xterm open, but a window manager and all available X-applications from the remote host (ie; desktop) displaying (running) on my local (X-server) host. It looks like this might be possible with XDM, but I haven't yet figured out how to make it work. Has anyone else been successful with this?
