ssh is the best option IMHO.  If you want to go the non-ssh route there
are a couple of things you may still need to do:

1. Most X servers are shipped preconfigured to only listen on the loopback
address (127.0.0.1) because they are run with "-nolisten tcp vt7"

2, you need to authorize remote displays to connect to X.  The easiest way
is to run "xhost +" which lets apps on any machine connect to your server.
 Obviously, you would only do this if you trust your firewall.  If you
don't trust your firewall, then have a look at the auth(1) man page.
