It sounds like you want to use XDMCP rather than what you are trying to do.
If you don't want to use XDMCP, there are other options:

What you are doing right now just doesn't make any sense.

Hi,
What I'd like to do is run Xwin on my windows XP box, and run the window manager on my linux box. I assumed that all I'd have to do is set the DISPLAY environment variable to point at my x-server, then run "startkde" to run the window manager. Unfortunately, the Xwin server is refusing connections. I've tried running "xhost +" on the windows machine, but this does not appear to have any effect unless I'm already running a window manager - which defeats the whole point.
So, does anyone know how to make "xhost +" work when there is no window manager, or alternatively is there any other way to get Xwin to accept connections?
Thanks in advance /John Vincent.
