I run a virtual ubuntu box on my server in the basement, and thin
client that just runs X.  Then I forward the X connection on the
virtual box to the thin client unencrypted using a /etc/Xn.hosts file.

It is much much faster than X over ssh, or VNC, fast enough that I can
watch Youtube videos pretty well over the connection.

Doesn't solve all your problems, but it's worth looking at.
