In searching for the current best way to access remote X sessions, I tried out x11vnc and TightVNC -- not the native client, but the Java app, no less -- and was immensely pleased! Just ran "x11vnc -display :0" on a remote console, and connected with TightVNC instantly. No additional config. The display was very smooth, and resolution was 1280 x 1024.
FYI, that was a password-less session, so if you want to secure it, gotta do a little better than that. But with a simple SSH tunnel, should only involve another command on the remote shell, right?
