Naughty! don't do that ;)

You will need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or similar on B) to 
uncomment the line X11Forwarding yes (or change no to yes, whichever) 
and restart ssh on B. Then you should be able to ssh from A to B with a
command something like ssh -X ip.of.machine.a and then run X apps and 
have them displayed on A. (and if you do the reverse on A you can ssh 
from B to A and have it display X apps that way too)
