Could you tell me how do u configure ssh for X forwarding, just to know
for future use? Just setting the ForwardX11 to yes??

May be I didn't phrase my question well. It's not like I want the prompt
back. Why is it different ? When I say mozilla it brings up the mozilla
on local machine and gives the prompt back but when I say xcalc it
brings up calculator and waits for it to terminate. I know how to put it
in background. How come its doing it for mozilla and not for xcalc? Or
may be its not a serious issue to be thought about :-)

Probably your ssh (and sshd) is already configured to do X forwarding.
(That is what I do by default with some remote systems. This reminds me
that I want to try some of those new X compression or other techniques for
speeding up X.)

If you want your prompt back then background the command with an ampersand
"&" at the end of the line.
It does not need to be on local machine too. (The local machine is the X
server; the remote machine is running your applications which are called X
clients.)
