Cause a window to pop-up on a machine remotely

Fixed!! Sorta
I got it to work but the "solution" was not glamorous and I'm not sure why I had to do it. The solution was to write a BASH shell script as a wrapper to call the application. The BASH script has two lines. One to set the display and the other to call my app.
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
start auto
The user that I'm running all of this as normally gets a CSH when it logs in but for some reason on BASH would let me change the display variable.
They really funny thing is that "start" (see above) is actually a CSH shell script.
Thanks for your replies.

Anyone know of a way to create a pop-up window using X11? I'm not to sure where to start. I just think it would be neat to do. So I was hoping someone out there had documentation on how to go about this, or if I was going to have to write/compile a program to do so.
Thank you!
