Yes.  Assume that I want to run olwm on marvin and my workstation in
slug2.  Further assume that I want to run olwm on screen 1.  Olwm is a
single screen window manager, so you have to start it for each screen
that you want to manage :-(.  It can be done in the following two ways:

	marvin% setenv DISPLAY slug2:0.1
	marvin% olwm  &

or
	marvin% olwm -display slug2:0.1 &


This assumes that a network connection is possible between marvin and
slug2 and that marvin is allowed to connect to slug2's X server.  I
always to a xhost + in my xinitrc file so I can do stuff like this w/o
thinking.
