The trick is... run X-server on the machine on which you want the display
of the application. Run xhost+ on this machine. Log onto the remote
machine with telnet or ssh and map the DISPLAY variable on that machine to
your machine which is running the X server.
After this if you fireup any application on the remote machine like
netscape etc. the application would run on the remote machine but you'll
get the user interface on your machine which is running the X server.
