I have an issue for which the work around would be to start the application in X instead of headless. How do I make sure the app is executed on the desktop, even if I run the command from a remote ssh connection.

You can use the DISPLAY environment variable to start a GUI program on the remote computer. However, it is not shown to you, but rather opens on the active X-session with address :0, which is the default for the first X-session. To enable, use
export DISPLAY=:0
For more information, see this post.
If you also want to see it, use ssh -X to log on that computer. For more information, see this relevant post.
