running x through ssh

[Michael Havens]

now this is strange. on 192.168.0.3 I can run gimp (which is not on .3)
from 192.168.0.4 however gedit will not run on .3 .

Cool after a bit of research I learned it is a gedit bug! and to
successfully rungedit I need to start it with sudo. Not an ideal situation.
