If you have an X server running on the box you're physically sitting at, and
all you need is to see a single application, then ssh is the quick and easy
solution.
I normally use ssh with X forwarding turned on. I don't think it's exactly
what you're talking about though - I can ssh into a box and start up an X
application (Netscape, Freeciv, whatever). The X window for that
application is forwarded to my box and displayed using my X server. But I
don't see the other machine's desktop, and I think that's what you're
asking.
You can set up a single X server to serve desktops to a LAN, but I've never
done that. Maybe Tony can help out here, I believe he's done this in a
production environment.
Cheers,
James
