In this picture, on my virtual-machine I have Redhat running with an SSH server, and I'm remotely logged-in via SSH. I want to run gedit
via SSH but have the gedit
window open on the remote Redhat server, not the machine from which I run the SSH client. I don't want to use ssh -X root@192.168.100.195
, I want to open gedit
on the ssh server's display via ssh client.

(X11 Forwarding), but in case others end up here, you might also look into using X11 forwarding, if you want the GUI application to display on your local (client) machine rather than the remote (server) machine.
