I can run though things like xterms and from those run the Gimp from the remote

Ensure you have xdmcp enabled: (See I got it wrong...)
system: Administration : Remote (tab)
check that Style is not set to 'Remote login disabled'.
This is insecure, so ssh is far more secure. You could tunnel through
but it would take more set up.
Ah I don't have a gdm.conf nor Admin/Remote in the menus.
(normally one would add I think enable=true into some [xdmcp] section)
Anyways what I did was to use Ming's XLaunch and selected to start a program. Rather
than start a ssh session I entered gnome-session, gave the host, username and
password and Gnome started up.
Speed is quite fine but after a while I get "Not responding". Then its OK for a while
then not responding.
