Display an X app on a remote machine
From Finninday
Elliott loves the idea of teasing someone by running an instance of xeyes on their computer without their consent. I keep forgetting how to do this, so I'm writing down the steps so that I can come up with the steps in the heat of the moment.

- export DISPLAY=:0
- xhost +
- xeyes &
- repeat the last step ad nauseum
For further excitement start xeyes up with these options:
xeyes -fg red -center blue -geometry 500x500 &
