That was a real tricky problem to track down.

Re: Running a remote graphic program
The simplest solution is if your client and server are both on a trusted LAN (isolated or behind a firewall) such as my system here where I am using a NCD X-Terminal to talk to my PCs. In this case, you just set the DISPLAY environment variable to the address of the display with something like export DISPLAY=my.host.name:0 You may need to grant access to the server if any form of server access control is active. Usually 'xhost +' executed from a session that already has access will disable the access control for all clients. If, on the other hand, the client and server are separated by an un-trusted network, and/or the X-Server is behind a NAT router (for example you are running an X app on a remote host accessed via the internet, and your PC is connected via a router connected to an internal lan, then it is a bit more complex but you need to read up on X tunneling through ssh.
