You apparently misunderstand how X11 works. When you are working on a local workstation W and want to start graphical program on remote system R you do not need X server on remote system. You need to tell program on R to use X server on W. If program on R used X server on R you could neither see output nor control it without being physically present at remote site where R is located.
You would be surprised how well I know X. Both as a user of X apps, and as a writer of them back in the Xt/Motif days. Not to mention the way I manage X apps via Tcl/Tk. I want the remote system to run the complete KDE desktop. I want remote access to that desktop. I do not want to run a single remote X app to be displayed locally. I want it all. And this includes the initial X login screen. -- Roger Oberholtzer
