I don't know if anyone has tried it, though... I know *I* have not, since I use the VNC viewer application to connect to my desktop at home.
Second, unless you plan on having a "gateway" server on the outside of your firewall and port-forward from there over SSH (which kind of defeates the purpose of using SSH in the first place) you will have to have some sort of SSH client on the viewer PC. I recommend PuTTY myself since it's so easy to set up. Also, there are now versions of PuTTY which do not write to the registry.
