Running a single application remotely is hardly a justification to
running main Xorg in insecure mode.
Have you tried Xephyr (nested X server)?
What about Xtightvnc?
Both of those listen X protocol on tcp by default, and allowing remote
X clients to run is a simple matter of xhost on their DISPLAY.
BTW, which version of CentOS has such horrible defaults? I'd like to
know so to avoid it in the future.
