    How to run remote X apps on local machine with SSH ?


    It is said that remote X apps(clients) can be tunneled by SSH and show on a local X server. I like the idea but I don't know how.

    Suppose I have computer 'foo' and I can use ssh to connect to the remote machine 'bar' by : ssh bar

    How can I run a gvim on the machine 'bar' and show the window on my local machine 'foo' using SSH tunnel?

    ssh -X foo
    would do the trick, however you're faced with a command line then, if you want to run a program such as kate you execute the command and it will tunnel the application over to your machine.
