Yes, they did and it's been available for a while now. You run the app 
"lbxproxy" on the local end (home) set up to connect to your work 
server, and then do a normal X connect to the local server connection 
that is presented by lbxproxy.

This assumes the normal case, that the remote server includes the LBX 
server extension.

Hope this helps.
