Either use tightvnc (www.tightvnc.org) or
ssh X forwarding.

For ssh, on the server:

run "grep orward /etc/ssh/sshd_config"

If it returns:
"X11Forwarding yes"
you are set. If  not edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config so it is correct..

Then login to server via ssh :

ssh -X username at serverurl

and start the program you want.

Too easy.
