I'm away from my computer so I could probably tell you more tomorrow.

I'm using tightvnc

http://elinux.org/RPi_VNC_Server

You can set it up so you can use "screen sharing" on Mac to have your rip 
desktop on your Mac.

That's what I do. It's different than what millers doing with x-forwarding.

Also with this you can get the rpi to show up in your finder side bar.

Hope that helps!
