Remote X Apps

[Jim Cheetham]

ssh negotiates all the X authentication for you *IF* the remove server
allows X forwarding (see /etc/ssh/sshd_config and look for
"X11Forwarding yes") in the first place.

ssh -X server

will set up the required environment. Use ssh -vX to see extra debug and
confirm it's happening.
