Perhaps the best way (without a need to install additional packages such
as VNC) is the following:
o Make sure server_1 also has the X lib installed, otherwise the application
wouldn't run anyways.
o If this is a secure environment and you keep the telnet port open, then
proceed to do this from server_2:
telnet server_1
(log in)
export DISPLAY=[IP of server_2]:0
run_x_app &
o On the other hand, if this is a secure environment and the telnet port is
closed (which I certainly recommend), simply log into server_1 using ssh
and run the X application. The ssh suite does X forwarding automatically.
No matter what, you still need at least the X lib installed on server_1
although you do _not_ need to have X running at all.
Let me know if it works for you.
