I typically SSH into the other system, then just kick off the app I want
to run. It forwards the "window" to my local session and uses the remote
libraries, so there's no problem with compatibility.

When I NFS drives, I never attempt to run things from a local system on
the remote drives. I've seen some very corrupted configuration files by
mixing versions that way. Some of the corruption is not reparable without
a clean and re-install...
