I want to start X app on display:0 remotely. How?

[kitepilot at kitepilot.com]

>> ssh -X -l operator remote.host
This will not work.
This will start an application in a remote host in my display.
I want to start an application in a remote host in the display that is 
attached to that host (DISPLAY:0.0) 

And it would rather be:
ssh -fCX operator at remote.host /path/to/executable
Thanks anyway...
