Are you sure that will work?

I ran an X server on NT years ago and when I ran an graphical program it
popped up and ran remotely on the X server on the NT box, not on the
linux box.

nohup?  I think that just keeps the process running after you logout,
but if the gui is running remotely?  It didn't sound like that was what
he wanted to do.  Sounded like he wanted the program to run or popup on
the server side screen.
