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.
