Doable, though I can't tell you offhand how to get the window manager
to run remotely, since I don't recall where it's started from.

Connect to the Xterminal from your session host. Export a DISPLAY
variable and then merge your xauth token fr
Here's a related question: Once you are running an XDMCP session on the
