I find it far easier to run X clients with ssh than dealing with the $DISPLAY variable and xhosts, not to mention more secure (as if X without ssh were at all secure :-).
This is good advice. Open a terminal, "ssh -X servername" to your "servername", then just run "openoffice". If ssh_config has forwarding set up yes you're in business. You can check by typing "echo $DISPLAY". You should get something like "localhost:0.10" if it's working.
This assumes you're logged in as a user on the client machine that matches your user on the host.
