Using X11 over ssh directly no. But you can use a command called screen
to create virtual terminals that you can can be detached and then you
can reattach to them.


VNC may be a better option for what you want to do.  I used VNC a lot
way back but have changed my mode of operation over the last few years
to use ssh and X11 for most stuff.

How ever you do this just make sure your connections are encrypted and
that you don't have clear text passwords going over the Internet.

Other than that there are several ways to do what you want.  It comes
down to trying each and figuring out what method you prefer.

When doing administrative tasks, I usually resort to ssh too, but I prefer using FreeNX when using remote graphical applications, as it supports SSL-encrypted sessions, uses SSH authentication and is pretty fast (much more than VNC).
