does Box2 have permission to access Box1's X server?

Yes. Second sentence of my original post:
I have two boxes networked together. Networking, ssh, scp, samba, etc. all function just fine. There are no issues with name resolving, hosts files, etc.
I figured out the problem last last night. My problem was conceptual. The user controls the new Xnest window with command line commands from within the
original shell window that launched the Xnest window,
not the new Xnest window. So by default the Xnest window is supposed to open with nothing in it. I haven't figured out anything past that meager triumph, however.
When the Xnest window opened I mentally focused on that window, but that is not how this silly tool works. Shame on me for thinking like a human being instead of a geek!
