Personally I use:
ssh -f machine.somewhere xterm

If you arn't using ssh, why not ? :)

pre-ssh I used to use a little script called rcmd that did rsh making sure
the DISPLAY enviroment variable was set correctly, etc.

I remember having to hack it slightly for the domain in DISPLAY (it wasn't
my script, just found it around somewhere).
