It's not all time wasted :-) In fact, I would say you've learned a ton
of stuff that will stand you in very good stead for the future. You now
know how to export X11 over the network, which is one of the basic
things X was designed to do. However, very very very few Linux users
seem to know how to do it :-)
You know the secret to getting a DM to allow it all in the first place,
and you also know what to do when ssh capabilities are on the server.
So all round it sounds like a useful exercise you went through. In fact
it sounds *exactly* like the stuffing around I had to do when I learned
the same lessons :-)
