What does "funny" mean?

All that is needed to run remote X11 programs displayed on your local
X11 server's screen is:

  local> ssh -Y user@remote

  remote> the-gui-program &

If your network connection is high-latency and/or flaky then this may
not be such a great experience (maybe this is what you mean by "funny").
If that is the case you can install Xpra on both ends.  This tool is
designed for being robust against such adversity and it takes just
slightly more to run than basic SSH.  Use it like:

  local> ssh user@remote

  remote> xpra start :100 &
  remote> DISPLAY=:100 the-gui-program &

  local> xpra attach ssh:user@remote:100

After this last command "the-gui-program" should pop up on your local
X11 server's screen.

When finished you can kill the remote daemon with:

  remote> xpra stop :100
