Have you thought about using other methods for remote desktop access that are already available in Debian, such as vncserver, vncclient and (of course) ssh, for remote tasks that don't require a graphical environment on the remote end?

Description: Virtual network computing server software  VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing `desktop'  environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine  architectures.
