I don't use X but the way I remember it is:

On remote system:

#xhost +nameof.localhost.com

On local system:
#DISPLAY =nameof.remotehost.com:0.0  (or just ":0"
#export DISPLAY
#xterm or whatever proggie

The window should be sent to the remote computer, that's how I remember it
anyway...been a while.
