Depends on what you're trying to achieve.
With ssh, you can run this to execute the application remotely but
have it displayed locally:
$ ssh -Y <remote_host> <application>
If you want it to be displayed remotely as well, you'll want to look
into VNC
Also, maybe you want to run the application locally but use remote
user profile. Then you can map remote path to a local directory with
sshfs and point the local application to the data (it will appear to
any application as if it were local).

I have been thinking VNC. My problem is I travel a lot and have to
manage a couple of applications that use x-windows control panels for my
wife's business and am looking for the most efficient way.
I can do it quite well if I am home but am looking for the best solution
for remote. Sigh I guess I am going to have to dig into VNC.
