Something that always works for me...but before that, remember that
any application built with the X Library has this capability (very
frequently in practice). All Linux GUI applications are based on the X
Library (GTK+ and Qt are built on top of X library so GTK+ and Qt apps
will also have the feature of remote display). Here's what you do:
>From your local machine:
$>xhost +
$>telnet remotemachine
On the remote machine:
$>export DISPLAY=localmachine:0.0
$>Run your app
After running your app, you should see the display on your localmachine.

If you want to export your app's display on a remote machine, then you need to:
$>telnet remotemachine
$>export DISPLAY=remotemachine:0.0
$>xhost +

Now from your local machine, again do the following:
$>export DISPLAY=remotemachine:0.0
$>Run Your App

Substitute IP addresses/machine names qualified with domains for
'remotemachine' and 'localmachine'.

Please go by Indranil's advice if the above doesn't work :-)
