[olug] Launching x-based programs on a remote machine's display?

[Nick Walter]

Connect to the  MythTV machine via SSH, and reset your DISPLAY variable to 
be the MythTV  machine's primary display instead of your remote systems 
DISPLAY.  Usually that would just be DISPLAY=0:0.  At that point any X apps 
you fire up should display on the Myth box assuming no security or access 
issues.
