[KLUG Members] suse 9 remote x question

I am wanting to run a program from a remote server and display the
stuff on a local Xserver.  I know that in earlier versions of RedHat
I had to change a couple of security things.  In RedHat 8 it worked
automatically by default.  In SuSE I am not able to get it working. 
My RedHat books seem to be worthless as far as configuration files.  

I am opening an SSH session and then trying to run the program from
within the shell.  I have tried just the program name and also
program name hostname:0 and I get a message about Gtk being unable to
open the display.  

I did a search on the Internet and have not found anything yet... I
am kinda stumped.... I know I am missing something easy here...
