If you intend to run an X application on a remote host and forward it 
back to your local display through ssh, then you'd need all of the 
libraries that the application uses in addition to xauth.  When you 
install the application's rpm, it should tell you what libraries it 
needs.  If you use yum or up2date, it should pull in the dependencies 
automatically, and the application should be ready to use immediately.
