You'll generally get more and/or better answers if you compose a new
message with an appropriate Subject: line for a new question, rather
than replying to a random message and continuing a thread.

That said, it should be as simple as using ssh's '-X' option, eg, "ssh
-X user@host".  Once you're logged into "host", just run an X
application.  ssh(1) has more information; you can configure ssh to
automatically set up X forwarding without having to use -X each time.
