Another workaround can be:

On the desktop PC:
X :1 -ac

on the FR:
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.200:1.0
/some/x/app

This wil open a new X server (:1)on the desktop pc without access control.
it is not the most secure way of doing it, but it gets the job done.
( assuming 192.168.0.200  is the ip address of the desktop PC usb0 
interface)

Kind regards,
