The OP asked for a method to render their display remotely. Your comments,
although correct in and of themselves, don't help with this requirement.

Why don't you use VNC if you want it "in the style of VNC"?

Weasel word to the meaning VNC or something else those smarter
than me think I should use instead.

You have been asking a lot of questions about ssh, and I really recommend
the o'reilly book, "ssh, the definitive guide" by Barrett and Silverman.
It takes some practice to learn how to use this tool to its maximum
benefit, but again, this is one tool which is essential for administering
GNU/Linux, IMO. One of the features which I have been using a lot lately
is on-the-fly modification of the tunnel. Once established, accessed with
a <~><C> keyboard sequence. This allow setting up connections between
client/servers on other ports at either end of the connection (Remote or
Local). It seems like an advanced feature, but it is actually needed to
tunnel protocols such as vnc, rdesktop, etc. of the established encrypted
tunnel. This is very useful, and related to the question you are asking
here

I last wrote about tightVNC over ssh here:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.os.linux.slackware/msg/591f4a5f4ab493b2

Encrypting tightVNC is a very good idea, because AIUI, the protocol is
otherwise passed unencrypted over the network, al-a telnet.
