Here is a suggestion. Let your users run X, as they normally would, and run
a VNC client application on their desktop to connect to a VNC server (which
may also be on their same machine). Shadow that VNC server by running a VNC
client on your desktop. Run the Unix application in the VNC desktop, which
is within both of your desktops.
