with the definitions of 'an X server is the machine controlling your
display/showing you
the desktop' and client being 'some machine that wants to run processes
which then
show their graphical output to some other location', you want to run
'host +' (although
it should really be something more like 'xhost + hostname') on the
server and run
'export display=somemachine:somenumber(s)' on the client.
or better yet, run ssh -X user@hostname and let ssh tunnel it for you.
