With TurboVNC. It doesn't support H.264 (yet-- still researching how best to accomplish that), but for many 3D applications (particularly professional applications like CAD and such), the encodings TurboVNC already has (which are highly tuned to provide maximum performance for 3D applications) will do a better job than H.264. If you're on a low-bandwidth network, I recommend using the "Tight+Low-Quality JPEG" preset and enabling automatic lossless refresh in the TurboVNC Server. If you're on a high-speed network, then the default settings should be fine. In fact, if you have Java on your client, then TurboVNC is zero-install, because it can use Java Web Start to launch the TurboVNC Viewer. Otherwise, the installation of the viewer will take all of five seconds. The Java version of the viewer has its own built-in SSL encryption and SSH tunneling features.
There are other open source X proxy solutions-- FreeNX and Xpra, for instance-- that use a fundamentally different approach and can thus provide usability features like seamless windows that VNC solutions cannot provide (VNC is a remote desktop solution and nothing else), but in my testing, none of those solutions is as fast as TurboVNC (nor do they have zero-install capabilities.)
