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)

Pol and Bruce,
Thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten all about the X11
forwarding. I have now got all the X11 forwarding options set to yes
going both ways in both the ssh_config and sshd_config but I still can't
open a window on the remote display. As Bruce suggested I tried running
xauth (although I don't remember using it before) on both machines and I
get the same error "unable to open display stender3:0". I tried both the
add and generate functions with same results. I read in the man pages on
ssh about a "trusted" host. I seem to remember something about that
having to be set up separately from way back when but right now I can't
bring it to the front. How exactly do I designate a host as being
"trusted"?
