If you want to run an app on your computer, you don't connect to another.  Just run it on yours.
If you want to run a program on another computer, and display it on yours, read the ssh documentation and use the -X option.

The ssh server on the other machine must allow X11Forwarding.
You connect with 'ssh -X remote-machine'.
Run an X application and it displays on your local X server.
Run a non-X application and it displays in your ssh terminal session.

This has been discussed previously in the forum.
