X desktop?

Hi All!
I have started my remote X session with the following
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
eval `ssh-agent`
rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix
XWin -screen 0 1024 768 &
ssh -X user@host
But the window that opens up doesn't give me functionality to move
sub-windows around.. so that when I open a gui, it remains static on the
screen, giving me no way to move or re-size it. Is there another option or
library I need for this?
And would it slow the system down even more? I make do most of the time
with just ssh and no x, but there are some gui apps I have remotely that
are very useful.
Thanks for any advice!
Rob
