  Thanks for the tip!   xorg-x11-xauth got me closer!  The xlogo does show up! However, when I run 'bat', I get the gui with a bunch of little squares instead of fonts/text:

So, looks like I need some font stuff!   Is there a package/RPM to get all those?

Thanks for the help.  This is great!

I find that I need these additional packages to run gui X-windows apps from remote systems.

yum install xorg-x11-xauth dejavu-sans-fonts.noarch
