Actually, it's

     ssh +x momsmachine

You may need to do the following on some Distros/versions:

     `hostname`:0.0

You also can get fancy and avoid typing the commands yourself with:

     ssh +x -t momsmachine "export DISPLAY momsmachine:0.0;abiword"

There are other variations for those that want to get fancy.
