Can I use net/ssh to connect to a remote server, start a X
application, and have the application's display show up on my
computer?

Can it use X portforwarding? If so, then yes, if you're running a local X
server.

I don't know if it can or not. Why I'm asking.

The answer depends on whether the remote and local machines are properly
configured
Yes

both running the same version of X windows
Yes

and whether the SSH connection between the local and remote machines is made with the appropriate options.

My question is whether net/ssh supports these appropriate options, and
whether an application's display can be sent over an opened ssh
channel.
