Thanks a lot Tim... It seems that for my use case using X directly would actually also be more appropriate anyway.
I have my desktop session running, switch to terminal 1 via ctrl-alt-F1, login then run:
sudo X :2 -query <ip>
my screen goes blank but no greeter is displayed. I've attached the custom.conf from the server, but I don't find anything unusual.
I suppose that the main difference between our setup is that you are using two 64-bit systems while mine are i686, is that correct? These are both Dell pre-installed systems that have been upgraded to Lucid with many manual configurations and a few proprietary drivers for misguided hardware purchases :-/ oh well...

I'd install 64-bit Lucid on both via external USB drives but due to: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ grub-installer/ +bug/45989 /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ grub-installer/ +bug/46520

that's a bit tedious for my production systems... but I hope I'll get around to it coming week.
Again, thanks a lot for providing the PPA's for lucid and spending the time to knock this out.
