I've been meaning to test this all weekend, but I still haven't gotten
around to it, but here goes...

Check to see if there is an option in gdm (one of the menus) that allows
a "remote login".  With X, what will/can happen is that you will run
[xgk]dm locally and it will allow you to login and display a remote
desktop.

I've done it recently with Solaris 8 and several years ago with gdm or
kdm.
