Since VNC is good for resuming sessions after disconnects, or even moving to a different client, how about setting up a "low res" desktop account or two, maybe with nothing more than an xterm on it, for the bulk of the stuff where you can get away with the command line?
That, coupled with tightVNC encoding, might even be tolerable, and when you need hi-res GUI apps, you can just "grin and bear it?"
