[PLUG] how do I run a program without having to maintain a remote terminal?

[Shahms E. King]

well, assuming you're using ssh to connect, (which, of course, you are
;-)), simply append the command you want to execute to the ssh command
line. Since it's an X app, you probably want ssh to background itself,
so you'd launch a remote xterm, for example, like:

$ ssh -f host xterm

or more specifically:
$ ssh -f user at host /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
