Looks like XWin access needs to be set, use either "xhost +" (that gives access from all computers to your workstation, if you want to be more specific then it's "xhost +10.19.20.221) or xauth (I don't know how to use this). I usually do "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]", as long as you have DISPLAY well defined at your end ssh takes care of everyting. Of course you need the sshd server on the other side.
