Unfortunately X doesn't work that way - you can't run X from a remote location 
and have all its output displayed on your local machine.

You can, however, start X from your local machine, telnet/ssh into a remote pc, 
run a program from it, and have it's output display in a separate window on your 
local machine.  I frequently ssh into other PCs on my lan and start emacs.  A 
new window opens up on my local box, just as if the program was running on it 
instead of on the remote PC.

Regards,

Glen
