You don't need X running on the BBB to do this. In X the server is
the system/screen which runs X (i.e. your desktop machine remote from
the BBB) and the X client is the actual running program (on your BBB).
Just do the following:-
ssh -X <name of your BBB>
then at the command prompt on the BBB run the program you want and it
will pop up a window in the X server on your desktop machine.
