It may be that you don't have the display variable set up on the linux side.
When I want to use the Sun Java Directory Server on my LDAP server, I ssh to the machine and run this little script:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#This little script reads the ipaddress of the session that just logged
#in via SSH and sets up the xwindows display. Exceed must be running
#on the local terminal first.
echo "Do you have Exceed or Xming running? (y or n) and Enter"
read response
if [ "$response" == "y" ]; then
ip_addr=${SSH_CONNECTION%% *}
DISPLAY=$ip_addr:0.0
export DISPLAY
/var/mps/serverroot/startconsole
fi
This sets the DISPLAY variable based on the ip from which you connnected. The linux box needs to know where to send the display based on the DISPLAY variable. In my script, after the variable is set, it runs the startconsole program. This is on a Solaris system; on a normal linux system Xterm is usually used.
So, typically, you would ssh to the box, set the DISPLAY and then run the program you want on the Linux machine. Does that make sense?

gnome-session
GNOME-SESSION(1) General Commands Manual GNOME-SESSION(1)NAME
gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--autostart=DIR] [--default-session-key=KEY] [--failsafe|-f] [--debug]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-session program starts up the GNOME desktop environment. This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
xdm, or from your X startup scripts). It will load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined
by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system).
The default session is defined in the GConf keys under /desktop/gnome/session. When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently
running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory.
gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--autostart=DIR
Start all applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the applications defined in /desktop/gnome/session/default_session, or
via the --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart options can be passed.
--default-session-key=KEY
Sets the GConf key from which applications running a default session should be read to KEY. If not specificed, /desktop/gnome/ses-
sion/default_session will be used.
--failsafe
gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.
--debug
Enable debugging code.
ENVIRONMENT
gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari-
able. gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes.
SESSION_MANAGER
This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session.
DISPLAY
This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different
from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked.
