I think in order to use remote X I need to pick IP numbers in hosts, so I 
plugged the two computers together via crossover cable and used 
192.168.1.1 and .2 instead of IP numbers assigned by the router.

Now I get errno 111 instead, meaning the indicated server does not exist. 
So I started X on the desktop (server) and typed xv on the laptop (client) 
and xv appeared on the desktop.

If I start X on the laptop, it appears on the desktop.

The remote X mini-HOWTO says remote X is very insecure and any login and 
password typed in X on the client will not be encrypted.  If I got this 
working, I should log in with dbclient before starting X, and probably not 
access any site requiring logging in.
