If you issue "ssh -X remote.machine.name" from an X terminal, you can run X
programs (from within your ssh session) on remote.machine.name that will
display on your local workstation. Is that the clarification you wanted? The
remote computer does not need to have X running- only the local machine. The
only commands that need to be issued are the initial ssh command and then
the name of any programs you want to run.
