use ssh.

DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 ssh -X server

after login you can start any X11 program and ssh automagicly forwards the
output to your local xserver.

If it does not work, see the troubleshooting section of the faq.

Philip,

You should read the half-page in the User's Guide that tells how to do
this.  Note that it may be easier to use ssh (described on the same
page) if you already have an ssh server setup.
