Ok... funny how as soon as you click send you think of that one option
you forgot to check... this is working now... I can control the
desktop of one computer from the other on the local LAN.

This question still stands. My ultimate goal is to be able to
remotely control a computer on the other side of the world. Is VNC
"secure" enough for me to open it up via the internet? Is it better
(more secure) to use ssh tunneling? Can I take control of a remote
desktop using ssh like I can with the Remote Desktop tools in KDE?
