I've always wondered if this method is any different from simply using 
ssh with the -X flag.

ssh user at mythbox -X
mythtv-frontend

do these two commands do anything different?  On a similar note, does 
anyone know if there is a way to export audio via ssh.  Typically if I 
ssh into a box and run xmms, the sound will be playing on the box that I 
sshed into, not on the one where I sshed from.
