So, if I understand you correctly, you want to run some X applications on a
server, and display them securely on a client. A couple of questions:
- Do you care which machine runs the window manager?
- Will you have the machines trust each other, or do you require a
passphrase to log in with SSH?
One example of how to do this is to set up your window manager as:
ssh server /path/to/window/manager
If you need to have ssh prompt the user for something, you could do:
xterm -e "ssh server /path/to/window/manager"
(although you'll have to leave the xterm lying around, or figure out how to
detach ssh from it after accepting passphrase input - screen perhaps?)
If this isn't what you want, please describe, precisely, what you actually
want to do. Your question is more than slightly vague.
