You seem to have gotten a lot of answers which told you not to do that, 
or do something else, etc, what you want at minimum is:
	ssh -X user at remote
Other useful stuff:
	-C - compress everything, useful for slow links
		(say <10 Mbit)
	-c blowfish  - uses less CPU than the default crypto

I do this from my laptop regularly.
