I would like to initiate a new (X11) desktop session on a remote host (let’s say for ‘exporting’ the session with x11vnc). At first, this would be as easy as it is on the local host:
$ xinit /usr/bin/startxfce4 -- :4
However:

I guess one of the reason for that is that sddm is (also) running on the remote host. It there easy way to get this running?
Kind regards,
