Actually, I am trying to accomplish the latter. I want to be able to run, say 
KDE on usermode and export the display to the host box. Maybe startx is the 
wrong thing to run, but:

jgay at usermode:~$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.1:0
jgay at usermode:~$ twm
twm:  unable to open display "192.168.1.1:0"
jgay at usermode:~$ 

still don't work :(
