First, I haven't worked Intrepid, I'm using Hardy. I do something similar to what you do. For that purpose, I prefer SSH instead of VNC; I log into the remote system with: ssh -X usern...@remotesystem which allows me to tunnel individual GUI apps if/when needed. I find it faster - and easier to set up - than VNC. And there's a third option - XDMCP logins - I have a local VMware Server system with a GDM login screen. The remote (office) system also has a GDM login screen, with XDMCP enabled. But that assumes you can access remote logins from the Intrepid login screen. (Put the cursor in the username text box, and press F10. I hope you see a Remote Login via XDMCP option.)
