Secure shell (sometimes) is configured to tunnel X connections by default. Therefore, your application was running on the client machine and the machine that you were sitting on was acting as the X server. Everything was done through an encrypted tunnel. There is no need to do any remote desktop thingy configuration on Unix, since it usually runs X and it is by default usable as a remote desktop.
