I wish to run a few X apps via ssh from a headless computer. Simply trying 
to ssh with -X produces an error to the effect that a variable is not 
defined. This makes perfect sense, something must be running to give it a 
socket name. "0:0" etc.

What packages, services are minimaly required to run such a gtk app 
remotely. What docs have been written on this?

t.i.a.
