Actually, VNC works just fine connecting to a Gnome desktop, even tunneled over SSH. I regularly launch an SSH session on a Windows desktop using PuTTY, connect to my home system through an open port on my router, and then run TightVNC which I tunnel over the established SSH session to connect to Vino (Gnome's built-in VNC server) on my Gnome desktop, which allows me to control screen :0 (my actual desktop, as opposed to starting a new desktop).
