Any idea how I can drive it from the other machine?

Xnest :2
	on the local (SuSE) box brings up a blank X window, and
xterm -display :2
	or
xterm -display local-machine:2
	on the local machine brings up an xterm within the Xnest window. 
However the Xterm doesn't have a title bar and I can't type into it - 
just get beeps from the kbd - though ^D does terminate it).

Now I want to start up another desktop graphical session on the remote 
(ubuntu) machine and get it to display in the Xnest window, but I can't 
see how to do that - ?
