We have some Mac Pro workstations, and a number of people with Linux and windows laptops would like to be able to run GUI programs from those workstations remotely, ideally with X11 forwarding.
I know you can use Xquartz to get windows from a remote Linux machine, but is it possible to do it the other way around? That is, is it possible to use X forwarding to get windows from a remote Macintosh machine? If so, how?

When I tried that a while back the app would open on the Mac instead of the Linux machine. Then I remember reading a while back:
