Can you open a program from a remote machine on yours?

How does -XC differ from -Y?

I was wondering that.

Note that when launching firefox over a tunneled X session, you may need to run firefox --no-remote or it might just open a new tab in your local firefox (if it's running) instead. Not quite sure how it manages to do that, but it does.

that last one hasnt happen to me yet, but it could be due to having firefox in server and iceweasel in laptop

I have not had any luck when running this command when logged into a Solaris OS machine.

Any help would be appreciated. Works fine, when using eeebuntu 3.0 (practically the same thing!), but when using ubuntu 9.04, I don't get any display with GTK apps. xClock and xEyes, however work great.
