As a one-off:

X :1 -broadcast
or
X :1 -query ltsp_server_address

depending on whether you want to broadcast to find the server or not.

Easiest way to set this as a permanent feature is (probably) to edit
/etc/inittab: you should have a line near the end that looks something
like

x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

Change this to

x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X -broadcast

(or something similar).

HTH,

Michael
