I need to start a X program on a remote server over ssh. The program should use the remote X-server (no x-forwarding required). What's the proper way to do this?

someapp --display <display identifier>
or
DISPLAY=<display identifier> someapp
The display identifier is usually :0
.
export DISPLAY=:0.0
and then run your program. you may need to do xauth +localhost
first. edit: xhost +localhost
not xauth
