Indeed! And that brings me back to a question I had but didn't get a chance to ask at the time.
Are you logged in with an X session running on the Pi, Dave?
Yes there's an X server running on the pi. There's an ssh sesssion from the openSUSE PC to the pi that has run xhost +
Your original request read to me as though you weren't, which then leaves me wondering how you could throw xeyes or anything over there with nothing to catch it. Conversely, though, if you do have a session running, you could just ssh over and run whatever, right?
Well, not as far as I know, because I want to throw the results of a program that has access to a filesystem on the openSUSE PC and I don't want to remote-mount the filesystem.

Here's my other question, David. I thought that vncviewer lets me view what's going on on a system from where I'm sitting and that vncserver will throw that local display out to wherever I am. He wants to display something on that head, though, so it's almost as though the Pi should run the viewer, which would mean he's logged in. If I poke a machine running the server, can I then throw something on its display, even though that seems backwards to me?
I suspect you're right, but I didn't read it too carefully.
Thanks to you both & Happy New Year to all
