[wplug] Remote X question

[Teodorski, Chris]

I believe I am running them remotely; I am entering the command at the remote machines prompt.  I was under the impression that the -X switch on ssh would prevent you from having to set the DISPLAY, is that incorrect?

How are you starting these programs?  Are you running them off the 
remote machine?  Is the $DISPLAY set to the local system:10.0?  If 
traffic isn't going over the SSH tunnel, you are either: 1.) not 
running the process remotely or 2.) exporting the remote process over X 
instead of the SSH tunnel.
