If things are set up right (is this secure subnets?), you can do:

	rsh lispm "start x screen yourhost ..."

and it just works -- I had the following script when I had an NXP1000
for a while:

    #!/bin/sh -
    # hack...
    #

    WHERE=`echo $DISPLAY | sed -e 's/:.*$//'`

    LISPM=lostwithial

    case $1 in 
      -init | -i )
	xset fp+ /project/tfb/lib/X11/fonts/genera
	xhost + $LISPM
	;;
    esac

    rsh $LISPM "start x screen $WHERE :background whitesmoke :foreground midnightblu
    e"

(even if I did misspell `lostwithiel')
