On a Windoze (or Mac?) box, use putty:
1) Run an X server on your box – I use Hummingbird at work, Cygwin-X at home (I love it!)
2) Putty Configuration->Connection->SSH->Tunnels:

  • [x] Enable x11 forwarding
  • Xdisplay= localhost:0.0
    3) connect through putty and start up an X app

    On linux:
    1) ssh to where you need to go
    2) export DISPLAY=[yourip]:0.0
    3) start up an X app

    Do either of those work for ya?
