I don't understand. From a command line, you ssh to another box and get
a command line. If you want to run an X app, use an xterm, ensure that
you are forwarding X (just using ssh -X may work), then run the X app
from that command line. The application will be running on the remote
CPU (etc) but will use your Xorg and appear on your screen.

IIRC, you can stick a call to gnome-session in your ~/.vnc/startup to
get a GNOME desktop in VNC. This page seems to back me up

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with

My question. How do I get the default screen to open up, or to get
something other than the 'blank' screen with a shell open.
I don't understand. From a command line, you ssh to another box and
get
a command line. If you want to run an X app, use an xterm, ensure
that
you are forwarding X (just using ssh -X may work), then run the X app
from that command line. The application will be running on the remote
CPU (etc) but will use your Xorg and appear on your screen.

Correct. This I know/understand. I help 2 people, who do not live
locally, with their debian/(k)ubuntu computers.
There are times, when it would be very handy, to 'see' they are
seeing, when they are actually attempting to do things.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

You need x11vnc.
