Why do you want to use a RPC with X?
We have been using X to chain together up to three specialty computers--
a number cruncher, a data server, and a graphics front end-- without having
to resort to RPCs.  The MAIN is run on the number cruncher.  It is spawned
through an xterm on the graphics server and creates an interactive window
on the graphics server.  Data service is independent of X and provided by
standard NFS remote mounts and procedures.
