Why not use ssh X forwarding? Its a bit more safer..

To do it the old way - you have to do the following:

1. edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf - and uncomment the option
'DisallowTCP=true' - and restart gdm

2. Make sure your firewall doesn't block port '6000' (perhaps
this can be done with system-config-security-level)
