Add step 3.5:
export DISPLAY=mybox:0.0
You might also need to type
xhost serverroombox
on mybox. This will bring up the one application on mybox, not the
entire gui display.
Note that in this situation, mybox is the X-server. Don't get
confused with client/server terminology here. As mentioned
a while ago, you can save a couple steps with the 'xon' command.
Again, you might have permission problems to get xon to work.
