If (every thing is well configured) {
// it is so very easy
<local-machine-name>$ ssh -l <myself> <remot-machine-name>
Password: ********
<remot-machine-name>$ gedit
} else {
// a bit round-about
<local-machine-name>$ xhost <remot-machine-ip>
<local-machine-name>$ ssh -l <myself> <remot-machine-ip>
Password: ********
<remot-machine-name>$ export DISPLAY=<local-machine-ip>:0
<remot-machine-name>$ gedit
}
