The question didn't involve xapps over the network, but a lazyman's
way to start a full xsession on the local machine from within a
running xsession (for use with different display depth I belive)
Not opening the Xserver is a good idea if you have any decent network
connectivity, but ssh won't help. Switching to a text tty, and
"startx -- :1 -bpp 16" is "the right thing"
