Hi,

I have one machine "server" with ubuntu-server installed. I don't need a window-manager there, but sometimes i want to start single applications like that:

ssh -X server gimp

Do I have to install anything else than the application itself and it's dependencies? When I try I get a "

DISPLAY is not set"-error. When I use the same ssh-command as above but connecting to a ubuntu-desktop-machine it works.
