Given the X architecture, I think you actually want an X *server*
(remember that the "emulator" you run locally, is actually the server in
X) ;-)
But I see your point.
I was merely wondering whether you needed to support X locally (on the
terminal server), as opposed to generic terminal emulation. An X server
is rather more elaborate than merely terminal emulation, given how X
works.
