Today, the default for remote X11 sessions is to start a local X

At a previous employer, we ran Hummingbird X11 on the desktops and had
icons on our desktops for XTerm sessions on the various UNIX servers
(Solaris). For example, double the icon for xterm on server abc123,
and an xterm window opened and you then logged into the server, not
that different from using putty.
For the sake of learning, I'm looking to create a similar setup at
home between my desktop with xming and my home centos 5 server, but I
haven't had much luck finding any info. The closest thing I can find
is enabling GDM with XDMCP, but that's more than what I'm looking
for. I just want xterm, not a full desk top.
Does anyone have any info on setting up such a configuration? Maybe
this was/is a Solaris specific thing?
Check out VNC server / client.
For home use it works, over the wan it might be slower.

Just run the VNC server on your server box, and then have the client
connect.
