There are many choices... and yet another one is vino:

Summary     : A remote desktop system for GNOME
Description :
Vino is a VNC server for GNOME. It allows remote users to
connect to a running GNOME session using VNC.

This I believe will connect you to the running desktop (assuming your 
the same user) much like remote desktop... actually in Gnome, its under 
"Desktop -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop"

Least this is the way it is in Fedora Core 4... would imagine Suse 9.3 
isn't much different (other than maybe they used a better name than 
"desktop" for the top menu)
