If you want to have a full X session running on watson but displaying on
mycroft, you need to set up xdm, or gdm (or i assume kdm too).

Make sure ?dm is started at boot time on watson with the settings for
XDMCP set on.

On mycroft, you run "X -query watson" for a full screen, or
"Xnest -query watson :1" to run it in a window on an X session already
running on mycroft.
