Very good question. Do you have a setup to try it? I don't see why,
if you've been able to log in using a secure shell, why this wouldn't
work. The name/ip that you use to log in would be the one used to set
the DISPLAY environment variable. Incidently, you don't need the ".0",
since this is the default.
I would be interested to hear your results.
