I've just installed X11 and I think all the necessary pieces to run a 
remote X11 terminal. When I run 'xlaunch' I ask to run a remote program 
on my Linux host, specifically xterm. When the xterm window opens there 
is no command line prompt just the blank xterm screen. What am I 
missing? TIA.

Never mind, I got it figured out. Unfortunately, when X11 is installed 
it does not automatically install many of the necessary components. 
After searching through the Xorg stuff I found the missing components.
