Perhaps running a CDE desktop from a remote server running Solaris on an OS X desktop is odd, perhaps an unholy fusion that contributes to global warming - but it pleases me to make it happen and have the directions here 'just work'.
Summary,
Terminal 1
Mac # export DISPLAY=:0.0
Mac # /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz -xinerama&
Terminal 2:
Mac # ssh -X remote-host
remote # Xsession&
It's just as easy to export a single application but in this case I need to login as a non-privileged user, su to root, then su to yet a second non-privileged user due to security concerns.
I know - as-if X Windows isn't a great BIG security concern just sitting there on the host. But we're supposed to turn it off when we're done with it.
