For that functionality, I use TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com). It allows me to use the GNome GUI from a remote location.

I use the FreeBSD port of TightVNC on my FreeBSD box and use SSH tunneling via my OpenBSD box so that I can my Unix apps from work.

Be forwarned, there is a bit of a learning curve if you want to use VNC with TrueType fonts. It took a little bit of fiddling, but I finally got it to work.
