Which machine are you physically located in front of? Specifically, are
you sitting in front of THAT, and logged in to THIS via ssh?
If so it should be as simple as passing '-X' to your ssh session, and
running your application on THIS.
If that /doesn't/ work, can you post:
ssh THIS env | grep DISPLAY
ssh THIS type xauth
ssh -X -v THIS /usr/bin/xterm
(If you don't have /usr/bin/xterm on THIS then, please, substitute some
other X11 program that is installed.)
That will help work out where the process is going wrong

Daniel
