Ssh X forwarding is the simplest solution. If you want GUI
access over a long latencty network connection you might want
to investigate freenx.

To get direct display access on the LAN you'll need to track
down and eradicate the -nolisten tcp option, which is easy to
do if you are logging in with KDM by simply editing the
nice simple /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc file, bue if you are using
GDM, it involves stuff like sacrificing chickens at the
crossroads at midnight.
