That sounds complicated. I just set the display manager (I've only used
GDM) to accept XDMCP requests and then run this on the client:
$ X -query the-server
This is using the regular notion of server/client, not X's notion.
You can put that in /etc/inittab to do it on boot and always restart
when killed.
