There is a free X server here: http://www.microimages.com/freestuf/mix/
It's reasonably priced and can be set up to running wholly from the linux
box.  I've used it for somethings, but I haven't tried GTK applications
yet.  I image they work fine.

By working "wholly" I mean that the window manger and all the apps can be
run from the linux box, making administration much easier (one place to
make the changes).

Of course, in return you should probably thank MicroImages profusely. :)
