[OmniOS-discuss] Possible to run desktop applications via ssh -X or similar?

So neither 6000 or anything 600* pops up when I run this command.

There isn't a directory of /usr/X11

So I am assuming there are some packages that I am missing? I
basically followed the instructions to get gnome working (which also
doesn't start on this machine)

But I am also running this on OmniOS stable 151006. Do I need bloody
to get this to run? If so, can I just switch repositories and update
the packages, and keep my old stable version in a BE? Thanks!
