Why would anyone want that? The X server is running on your local workstation
If you have the X server running on a remote host, you can not see the visual
output.

The terms server and client are switched in the X1 world. The Windows Application
server is the X client and The Terminal Client is like the X Server.

What you want (If I understood that correctly) is a login server running in
the Applicationserver which connects to your local X11 display.
The problem here is to implement a shell, or a desktop in java which acts 
as UI for the logged in user. Smth. like KDE or Gnome for Java.
