It is often quite distro dependent and I haven't used fedora since it was
redhat (if you know what I mean).

However there are quite a few settings (which can be in different places
per distro). The first thing you have to do is set up X on A to accept
connections over the network. google or look at fedoras docos for
references to XDMCP which is the acronym for the technology involved. Once
you have it going, from B run:

X -ac -query A

if you already have an X session running on B you will need to add :1 to
the end of the command to tell it to open a second X session (the first
one is :0) so the command would be:

X -ac -query A :1
