Your normal ssh commands work well for this.
Generally I run commands such as ``xterm -e ssh -Y destination''
which runs the xterm on the Mac, then ssh's to the destination.
One can also use the -f option of ssh to run remote X clients
directly (e.g. ssh -f -Y system /path/to/gimp)
Editing the /etc/ssh_config file to turn on agent and X11
forwarding can simplify the command lines for ssh.
# /etc/ssh_config
Host *
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
# more stuff as desired.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops
moving, subsidize it -- Ronald Reagan
