Well after your advice I thought I better had take a look at FreeNX. 10
minutes later, all up and running and I agree, it is a lot nicer
solution. In case anyone else is considering FreeNX, check out
http://wiki.centos.org/FreeNX follow the write up and you will be up and
running in 10 mins. Thanks Les and the author of the wiki page.
