How do you start X over SSH?

from a running X session, simply open a terminal (xterm etc) and run:

ssh -X myotherhost
# after logging into the other host, run from your ssh session:
echo $DISPLAY # should read localhost:10.0 or something, which is forwarded over the ssh link
xmessage hi # should appear on your X screen

or as a one-liner:

ssh -X myotherhost xmessage hi

for further reading I refer you to `man ssh` and google.

OK, that works perfectly, but I remember seeing someone export DISPLAY, and then getting the X session up from the remote host.
