No, unfortunately, this can't be done, and it is a glaring error in the design  
of the window server.  We have hundreds of Suns running X here at princeton,  
and one of their few advantages over the Next is that the Sun X user can run an  
application anywhere (say on a large server) and have that application display  
on the user's workstation, all without the huge security exposure of the Next  
public-window-server design.  We need Next to fix this asap.
