One of the easiest ways to get X going remotely, if you only want to run one or two apps is to run (from the displaying machine or server) ssh -Y clientmachine [log in or authenticate in whatever way you have setup] xclock [or whatever X app you want to run, the display will appear on the machine you are looking at, but the app is actually running on clientmachine]
