You could also give VNC a try. It is a program that lets you run an X
desktop using the windowmanager of your choice from a Windows or Mac,
and a Windows desktop from your X Workstation. The client is very fast,
and even comes as a java applet you can run in a browser. What it does
is it connects to a running vnc server on another machine on your net,
similar exporting an X display over telnet. The neat part is that the
connection is 'stateless' so you can open a display on one machine,
close it, open it on another machine, and your workspace is preserved.
It is exactly as you left it. Check out http://uk.research.att.com/vnc
for the details. I believe there are add on modules to facilitate the
use of SSL or SSH for more secure connections.
