No problem at all. On the linux box xsession, do an
xhost + AIXbox
then from the AIX box start your app with the option
-display Linuxbox:0

The information going from the AIX box to the Linux box
is on the network, available for sniffing. You can also
do things like tunning through ssh, so the data steam is
encoded. Some people also do
xhost +
this lets anyone in the world display to your machine.
xhost + AIXbox
lets anyone on the AIXbox display to your machine, not
