I'll give it a try but I'm not 100% sure.
My understanding is that any application that uses X has to use a certain display specified by host:display.screen. If you run it on your own machine is just uses the local host with display 0 and screen 0. But if you set your display variable to something else it will display there instead.
If that understanding is true, any app you can get to display on your local Xwindows box can also be sent to a remote box by setting the display variable appropriately. There is no special "Xwindows remote enabled" that it has to have to be able to use it remotely.
