If you are also fed up of exporting DISPLAY manually everytime you need to use gvim or anything else requiring ‘X’ then you will get a relief reading this post. you can use -X option
ssh -X [IP | Host]
If you use ssh -X, ssh will tunnel your X connection for you and automatically set up the appropriate X authentication. But its not all candies, there is a risk involved. I ran through the man page and found this
-X Enables X11 forwarding. This can also be specified on a per-host
basis in a configuration file.X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the
ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the
user’s X authorization database) can access the local X11 display
through the forwarded connection. An attacker may then be able
to perform activities such as keystroke monitoring.
So take care.
