What happens if from your local machine you "ssh -X me at remotehost",
login and then from that login shell run an X app like xeyes? That
should put the xeyes window on your local display. That is the default
process with ssh -X.

Or are you asking to ssh to the remote machine, run an X app on the
local machine and have it display on the remote machine.

Or run a remote app and disply it on the local machine?
