ssh -X -l operator remote.host

sometimes you have to use -Y rather than -X

You can put this in your .ssh/config so it does it all the time.

Also, running KDE apps and maybe gnome apps might be a pain since they
assume a host of other KDE related services are running. Try with xcalc
first to simplify matters.
