AFAIK, for most X apps, there is no special setting...it's inherently part 
of XWindows.  If you have a Linux installation up and running with 
XWindows, you are probably ready go to.

This is the way I start up an app on another machine with the GUI on my
machine: 
- Login via some shell to the remote machine (we use SSH here, exclusively)
  This implies that I have an account on the remote machine...
- Run the program
Magically, the app starts up on the remote machine...and the GUI on mine.

That's it!
