ssh -X user at machine should do X forwarding if the machine is configured 
to do so. There are also tricks you can do so you don't have to enter 
the password each time too :) This method also has the distinct 
advantage that you don't have to use xhost or other tricks to allow the 
remote machine to display on your display, since the X requests all come 
up the ssh tunnel.

Cheers.
