VNC or xrdp. Both work, and both give complete remote desktop, not just a window with one tunneled app. For a tunneled X app to do it, see if you can tunnel in and pull up nm-connection-editor (part of NetworkManager-gnome package). Once the connection is defined, you might can bring it up with nmcli con $conid up If there are ethernet connections, NM by default gives you 'System ethX' where X is the ethX number, at least here it did for my eth1, eth2, and eth3 ports. I just checked an ssh X tunneled nm-connection-editor, and it's usable. YMMV. Would be nice if the Fedora 'cnetworkmanager' (CLI NM applet of sorts) were there.....
