To export the entire desktop from the laptop to the workstation, you
have to set up XDMCP. The various display managers support that
protocol. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~zweije/xauth-9.html#ss9.3 for
details of how to set up xdm with XDMCP.
When that is done, you issue the following command on the workstation:
X :1 -query laptop
Also, you can browse the local network if you have gdm installed on the
workstation.
