You can also forward X over ssh, either by setting the sshd_d_config to
forward X (X11Forwarding yes), or on the command line by using "ssh -X -A
<machine>." the -X says forward X, the -A says forward authentication
agent connection. I normally use ssh to go between machines, because then
I don't have to give full trust to the other machine.
