The question was how to start remote X applications via ssh, and
I used xterm merely as an example.  
Presumably the OP already knew about getting a shell and starting
from there, but he had specifically asked about starting an X app
directly.

So in that case, the -T suppresses the terminal.
Hope that explains what I forgot to explain last time.
