One option not mentioned it the many answers is the use of remote
GUI desktop (VNC, NX, XRDP etc).
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software
All these packages let you create virtual desktop on the remote
machine and connect to it (mostly through SSH) from the local machine.
They get much quicker rendering than X forwarding.
There are other advantages: the client can work on another OS, you can
disconnect from the remote desktop and reconnect from another machine
(like screen for text terminals).
I work with VNC+SSH over the Internet and quiet happy with it.
Ehud.
