That one gives me:
/usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7

I'm also having this problem locally (mentioned in the original post)
via a button mapped on my remote (hence the irexec part of my script),
so I'm not sure if that's related. I'm not trying to open the frontend
on my remote machine, just trying to remotely open it on the local
machine.
