As a little excuse to the original poster I did some research:
How about using

	# Xorg -query <IP-address> :<display-number>

from command line? (Mind: you have to set display number to 
something different from default 0 (p.ex. 1 or 2) if you are 
calling from inside an already running Xorg).

That's a really "thin" client and it seems to work (for me - I 
can logon to my wifes Debian machine).

Greetings

Uli.
