[FreeNX-kNX] simplest case

I have the 3.2.0 NX sources compiled. I want the simplest case to work
before I get more complicated.
Desire:
I'd like to have a remote X client display on my local X server.
Obviously, it sounds easy... but I have not found good examples.
Similar:
I want something like "ssh -X" or "rlogin / export DISPLAY" sort of
behavior.
Of course I know nxproxy is in the mix. I've run the
nxscripts/run-nxproxy, but that only runs it locally and my brain seems
to have trouble expanding what that script is doing to a remote and
local setup. I've also read the nomachine page (Building and Using NX
Open Source Components) -- but the networked example does not show how
to launch an X client.
I am able to get the nxproxy running on both sides and have a link, but
where do I set DISPLAY? and what do I set it to? Must I use xauth? Can
I just "xhost +"?
I think what I want is nxproxy-to-nxproxy or nxproxy-to-nxagent.
I'd appreciate some direction, even a link to some more specific
documentation. An example of launching a remote xterm would be awesome. :)
Thanks,
Scott
PS - I'll certainly share my build script (for RHEL3 and RHEL4) if
anyone wants it... I have a nice self-contained networked/nfs install
directory with little dependencies and no LD_LIBRARY_PATH requirement.
