I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Using VNC server or ssh with X11 tunneling (-X or -Y) would make more sense. You don't need X itself running for either of these.
Yes, my intention is to ssh in then run the app like this: local$ ssh -X user@remote remote$ firefox
However, when I do this I get no response (no firefox window opens, no terminal output), even after several minutes. I figured that was because X is not running.
