 Use nxproxy to establish a nx-compressed tunnel in which you can
remote an application.

 nxproxy -S 192.168.0.4:8 & ssh ospite at 192.168.0.4 "export DISPLAY=:8;
nxproxy -C :8 & firefox".

 Instead of firefox you can run xterm and by that xterm session you
could run any remote software.

 Instead 192.168.0.4 you should use the ip or hostname of the remote
server (on which nxproxy should be installed also).
