> RDP, Terminal Services and, yes, even VNC are far less hassle than any protocol that HAS to be tunneled to be safe (certificate-checking, etc. is performed by SSH, but in RDP it's a part of the protocol).

Isn't this a question of Do One Thing Well?

Having "secure tunnel" and "network-transparent GUI" handled by two different processes is proper Unix design.

(Fwiw, my current remote-work setup goes vncviewer → ssh -L → x11vnc → Xvfb. It's *like* pipelines, but with sockets.)
