I've done something like that. Open a console, and use it for an XDM connection, on a second X Server with something like: X -once -query <remote hostname> :1 Or some such to get an X session on the remote machine. But you'd still need to be logged in locally... Hmm.. You could set the local machine up as a dumb X-Term (XDM to the remote machine only), but I don't quite see the point. Just my 2 cents.
