SSH and XForwarding

I have two questions regarding SSH and XForwarding:

1-Imagine I have an X program called 'xprogram' installed in the
machine A but not installed in the machine B, now from B I do:

B#ssh A
A#xprogram

I get an error, but if I try to do it with a program installed in the
B as well, then it works. Is it normal ? Is not possible to run an X
program installed only on the remote machine ? I think that when you
run XForwarding what SSH actually does is to contact the X server in
the client to make the program appear in the local machine, so it
could make sense not to be able to locally run a program only
installed in the remote machine, is this right ?

2-The other question is about running nautilus using XForwarding, the
nautilus windows opens without problem and I see the files and folders
of the remote directory, but I can not edit the permissions of those
files nor even move the files inside the folders of that directory and
so on, but I can do all that if I connect in 'shell' mode, normal ssh,
it seems like if with nautilus I am using another user, is there any
solution ? The way I call nautilus is once having a shell in th remote
machine I do:
A#nautilus target_directory


Thanks !

Please show us the complete error, how do you expect us to help
you if all you say is "I get an error"?

Of course it is possible, that's the purpose behind it. Again
show us the error (cut&paste).

You start your ssh-session with
#> ssh -X user@host
, do you?

Or in section for that host or wildcard Host * section in ~/.ssh/config:

ForwardX11 yes

I can run SunOS X binaries through ssh to my old IS, displayed in Linux,
even though those binaries would not run on Linux.
