For strictly a X11 forwarded solution, do something like the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -CY [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ twm& # or xfwm4 or something else like that.
For a VNC solution, I suggest using x11vnc. By using SSH forwarding
and compression you can easily attach to a preexisting desktop session.
