As far as I know, you can't use startx (or for that matter xinit or xdm)
because it generates a new MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE key on the local host, and
thus will deny access to your X server from any remote clients before
you have a chance to do an "xhost +remotehost". If you want the remote
XDM to manage your display, you have to start X "bare", like this: "X :0
-query remotehost"... and of course make sure your ~/.xsession file is
set up nicely on the remote host.
