So, you want to set up a connection from your desktop (the screen server) to 
your BLFS system (the screen client)?
Did you allow X11 forwarding on your client?  Check with grep X11 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config ~/.ssh/*grep

Then connect with ssh -Y <your login>@<your client> and start an app.
(this is the way I do with my iMac as server)
