I have not found this exact question but I could be using incorrect terms.
In Ubuntu 16.04 I was able to start graphical applications over SSH by first running:
export DISPLAY=0.0
then any graphical program will open when launched in the same SSH session.
For example nohup sudo -u $LOCALUSER gedit & will open up gedit for the local user to use.
I am aware that the switch from the aging X11 to Wayland is the reason this no longer works.
What would be the current way to do this in 17.10/Wayland?
Most of my workstations are managed remotely for local operators with limited access. A one liner solution for this would be desirable.
We cannot do any complicated modifications from the initial install.
The lack of information makes me think this is not possible in the default install, and requires system modification.
Is a "one liner" on a default system possible to allow launching of GUI applications via SSH?
If not possible, we can wait until this update is made before upgrading.

The easiest way to do this would be to disable the Wayland session, and force X11 (which will be the default in 18.04)

However another team on the project is very excited about Wayland (not sure why), so I have been asked to make this happen /without/ disabling it. I understand this is an odd request and maybe outside of the scope of Wayland... or maybe my understanding of what it is has been incorrect.

Late to the party, but for anyone reading this, Wayland's decision to emulate Windows is at fault. This problem can't be corrected. Its a result of abandoning the proven power of a client server architecture. Most people do not even know you can export DISPLAY=0:0. I'm wondering if the Wayland fanboys do. If they do, then they must be awfully arrogant to think that breaking this is trivial. BTW, I just got hit by Wayland today. I am not a happy camper after my research, which is what brought me here.
