[FRamsay at castelhq.com]

Well I'll look into how to do this when we have internet access again...

Personally, I've always been uncomfortable opening up my X display with
xhost. If you have ssh installed, try using ssh X forwarding, which
tunnels X through the ssh session. It should work transparently, assuming
your IT folks didn't disable X forwarding in sshd on the server end.
