TightVNC & SSH
Tried ssh tunneled TightVNC session from Win32 to Debian Linux server today. Getting it up and running was straight-forward:

Biggest benefits of TightVNC over remove X sessions seem to be lower bandwith requirements and the ability to disconnect session.
- Install TightVNC Viewer from http://www.tightvnc.com/
- Install Debian package tightvncserver
- Set up ssh tunnel for port 5902
- Run tightvncserver from ssh prompt
- Connect TightVNC Viewer to localhost:5902
