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?
