@several posters - you don't need a full gui on the server to get X-forwarding to work through ssh. Only the client part of X. It will use the X server on the local machine to display. If you install enough for the package "xeyes" rather than the full desktop GUI, X forwarding should work.

may be the command and arguments are wrong:
So in number 2: do I have to write #xhost su DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY firestarter
or What?
