   Ssh forwarding should work, the OP indicated it did not at first (which   
   is likely a missing ssh config stanza somewhere).   
      
   The OP, however, is trying to get direct X11 TCP networking running,   
   which means he needs something on his VNC server side listening for   
   those direct X11 TCP connections.  Without that, his only option is   
   going to be getting ssh X11 forwarding working.
