You are confusing boot run levels with X11 session failsafe mode.

X11 session failsafe mode is when the Xsession starts without reading
any configuration files and just an X terminal window (so no window manager
or desktop).

Please see the failsafe option in Xsession.options (manual page section 5).

The link Keith sent me is a just google it link.
Of all the links it pulled up, this seems to be the
best:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/tunneling-vnc-connections-over-ssh-howto.html

Although it did not go into how to run VNC, just
how to set up ssh.

Ssh can't do this, but what it can do is to tunnel (X forward) a VNC/X
server to your display. One like x0vnc4viewer or vino can map your
current X display into a VNC display that can then be carried over an
SSH based tunnel to another display server.

Confused?

Let me know and I'll post an example

VNC is poor by comparison as it has to do screenscraping.

ssh -X or ssy -Y will carry X and one doesn't have to bother setting the
DISPLAY variable.
