Well, stock X will probably work. I have used that in the past on a
per-program basis. You know, the 'DISPLAY=host:0.0 program ...' routine.

I'm sorry that my little question lacked enough detail to avoid all this
confusion. On the other hand, it sparked an interssting debate. :)
The enironment is LAN.
The reason that I forgot to mention stock X, is that vnc (which I'm
partial to, since that's what I have been using) is so much easier to
use:
a) it gives me a complete X desktop which is separate from the X desktop
I use when I log in locally. This means I can tailor the remote desktop
to another wm, another display size and so on.
b) it allows me to run the display in a web browser (java required)

And on the server you run xdm or something like that?
