No idea. But if there is then the following is useless :-|

Well, you say you're working on a remote machine. This implies you
need to connect with X11-tunneling turned on. this is done with

ssh -X user@machine

Next, you should test x11 by, say, starting an xterm. If xterm won't
show up on the machine you are sitting at, then you need to debug your
X11. Probably soething to do with your DISPLAY variable in your shell.

If all works ok, then run your program and follow it with (assuming
BASH is your shell, find out with: echo $SHELL)
OLDDISPLAY=$DISPLAY
export DISPLAY=blahblahblah

this will "break" X11 on your local machine untill you set:
export DIAPLAY=$OLDDISPLAY

This prevents things from showing up n your local machine, but doesn't
actually break the X11 tunnel. Not sure how to do that. If it's
possible it should be a man or google away :-)

Let us know if this helps,
