x2x sounds like it fits the bill:

Synergy can do this too http://synergy2.sourceforge.net

Those both sound more like software KVMs rather than remote control. An
example of what I'm up against, from a couple of days ago:
Them: It popped up a window that says error.
Me: I'm going to need a bit more detail.
Them: It was blue.
Me: ... Okay. What did it say?
Them: I can't read that small type, and anyway there's another window in
front of it that's kind of fuzzy.
Me: Okay, which window is active is called "focus", and well, it
doesn't matter. Click on the title bar and drag that window out
of the way.
Them: What's a title bar?
Me: That... er, bar at the top, with the, well, title on it.
Them: When you say click, do you mean the left or right mouse button?
Ultravnc (http://www.uvnc.com/) has a slick setup where you give the
Windows user a binary to run, and it calls back to the support site.
No setup needed the client's part. I don't know how much of that is
encrypted.
The shared session is important to be able to show the users how to do
things in their own inevitably-customized session.
Right now, I can run ssvncviewer -listen on the support system, then run
this on the "supportee" system:
...
remotehost="lightning"
cmd="x11vnc -display :0 -localhost -connect localhost -ncache"
ssh -t -c blowfish -R 5500:$remotehost:5500 localhost "$cmd"
That works, and I think it meets the specs. Reversing connection
combined with a remote tunnel is making me dizzy. And this is all on
the LAN for testing, so allowing this in through the firewall will add
more complexity.
