When you ssh into the remote machine, use "ssh -X serveraddress". The -X (uppercase X) flag allows the X11 session to be transferred across SSH.
Are you suggesting I try this from the OS X Terminal application, of from Gnome?
Either one will work, _if_ DISPLAY is set correctly to point to the X server running on your local Mac. Gnome/xterm does this automatically, but if you like using Terminal.app instead, then you have to set it there.
I tried this from the OS X Terminal application, and got the same result - Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
But it's still not clear to me how DISPLAY should be set on the remote server side.
As Martin said, you don't want to change DISPLAY on the remote machine.
