try out this .it might help u out
steps
1. generate a pair of public/private keys using
ssh-keygen -t rsa
this will generate your id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in .ssh dir
2. copy the id_rsa.pub to remote .ssh directory as authorized_keys2
scp ~rk/.ssh/id_rsa.pub rk@monster:~rk/.ssh/authorized_keys
3 public key based authentication is set up
However, you need a program that manages your keys for you called an agent.
You need to start the agent, tell it your passphrase, and hook up to the
agent whenever you need to connect to the remote machine.
4.You logon to a console and then startx as in say, an out-of-the-box
Linux installation. You should figure out what exactly has to be done
for your specific machine's X
edit .profile file-->
alias startx='ssh-agent startx'
5. edit .xinitrc file -->
DISPLAY="localmachine.cs.umd.edu:0"
SSH_ASKPASS="/usr/libexec/openssh/x11-ssh-askpass"
ssh-add</dev/null
#change the following to whatever window manager you like
startkde
6. As a fringe benefit, you can execute any GUI based programs on the remote
machine for free, no setting up $DISPLAY , no need to xhost+ etc.
