You need a local X server. In Linux, you're cool, but in Windows you need to buy one 8(.

The whole thing is based off the DISPLAY variable. Telnet or ssh to the server and type:

DISPLAY=192.168.1.50:0.0

or something like that (It works on Slackware using the bash shell) Then you run the program(s) you want (preferably followed by & to make them run in the background so you can keep using your ssh/telnet session).

There is a "free" app called vnc and vncs found at IT&T Cambridge web site. Installing the server on the linux box you want to use the X from, and, in my case vnc windows client. Due to my job I don't have a choice...I have to use windows for somethings, So I use vnc on my windows machine to run X on my server. I like it and it's free and works great. (So long as you dont config KDE as the default ..I seem to get alot of SIG15 on the KDE progs) I use ICEWM as my default. As you will see on the web site..the prob is totaly platform independant, in that there are clients and servers for all major platforms.
