We have a box running Enterprise Redhat that several people SSH into. If we installed Wine on it and a windows application, does Wine automagically let us run the GUI of the application via X Window System? Didn't think so, but had to ask....

Wine will let you run windows applications (not all but a lot - check appdb.winehq.org) on linux and ones with GUIs will run under the X window system. John

Can I log into our box remotely, launch TextPad, and have it show on my local desktop via X11? (Assuming I'm running an X server on my local desktop). Sorry if this is a dumb question. And thanks for that URL. I see several apps there useful for us.
Looks like the key word here is remote X11. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine#Instructions_for_using_wine_over_remote_X11_sessions Appears to have a link to some resources to allow you to do what you need. It basically requires an addition to wine's regedit.exe to allow the window to be drawn, if I'm reading it properly. Hope that helps!
