use "xhost" to tell your local machine who to accept connections from. ssh or telnet to the remote machine. run the app. that's normally all there is to it.

and it's X11, as in X windows protocol version 11.

$ ssh -X username@box (use ip addr if necessary)
$ xterm & (brings up whatever application you want on the client machine from the server. In this case. xterm)
