Okay, this is easy.
heres what you do :
I'm assuming that you are using the Bourne Again Shell (bash)
on the machine that you want to push the x display back to you need to:
# startx
open an xterm:
# xhost +
then you need to telnet to the remote machine from which you want to run the
apps.
login and type:
# DISPLAY=your.ip.address (for instance DISPLAY=192.168.0.1)
# export DISPLAY
then:
# xterm -ls &
# exit
( you can logout now that there is a remote xterm
running)
everything you run from the remote xterm now will be coming in from the remote
machine.
for instance:
# xload &
will pipe an xload applet to your local machine.
give it a try and if you get any errors let me know I'll help you.
Cheers
