Hi Folks, Not sure whether I'm asking the impossible here.
2 options really, one is use vnc or the other(s) are:
Install xnest or xephyr (if you don't have them already installed) and create a windowed x server inside your x session.
Then you can export your display variable to point at the new nested X server. You can then use ssh -X to connect to the remote machine and launch your desktop session from there and it should display in the nested server.
Or... if you have XDCMP enabled on the remote end you should be able to start either xnest or xephyr and get it to query the remote host via XDCMP directly.
