From a CLI:
startxfce4
Aha! I tried that, first as root over ssh, and got screensful of
error messages; hit ^C, and tried it as userid (still over ssh); got more
errors. So I rebooted.
The monitor on the T30 showed (and still shows) normal-looking
boot messages as far as one saying "Started Install ABRT coredump hook,"
marked OK, but no further. I.e., it offers no login screen.
So I tried startxfce4 again as userid over ssh -Y, and got more
errors. :-(
