To answer my own earlier question, if it's of use to anyone else who lands here.
If you want a program launcher on the remote Raspberry Pi using X11, you've got the default file browser pcmanfm. It's got a program launcher built in.
Assuming that the remote Pi, here named myx11pi, is switched on, connected to the network and has a full installation of Raspberry Pi OS, then from your current pi :
This will open the file browser you're familiar with.
Click Edit, then go to preferences.
Go down to "Layout" and untick "display simplified user interface and menus"
A little lower on the same screen, tick "show in places : applications"
On the left hand pane of te file browser, you'll now be able to choose between "directory tree" and "places". Select "Places" and you;'ll now see "applications". These are the X11 programs that are installed on the remote Pi, and you can launch them from here with a click!
