I just saw something in the cookbook. I'll bet my 'problem' is the difference
between running with run level 3 and run level 5...
Thanks anyway, for all your ideas

P.S. Yes, I can call myself that.
Dave,
Don't be so hard on yourself so quickly!
I just recently converted a RHEL 4 system running on an x86 box from run
level 5 to run level 3. After the change I can still connect via "ssh -X
..." and run X applications on the Linux box just fine. (I'm using Xming
on a Windows 7 box to connect to the Linux system.)
I don't have any experience with SLES11, but on the RHEL box the big
difference between the two run levels is that level 5 starts a local X
server on the Linux box while level 3 does not. You shouldn't need an X
server running on your SLES system in order to run X apps on that box,
the X server needs to run on your remote workstation of course.
You might want to check to see if level 3 starts the font server (xfs);
your remote workstation might be expecting to find it. Also, permit me a
dumb question: when you installed SLES11, did you install the X runtime
libraries that your apps are going to require?
