Although one has to admit that working with remote X terminals over a
SSH/WAN/VPN-connection is far from usefull, Microsoft´s RDP protocol does a
much better job there. However, there´s NX (http://www.nomachine.com/) and
other products but out of the box X11 it´s quite slow over higher latency
connections.
