What are you using as client? In my case it's Windows so VNC is an easy option. When I connect from outside the LAN I use a ssh tunnel so I expect to be fairly secure. On the other hand VNC is rather crap in details like where is the cursor in the text editor.
there are quite a few windows ssh clients; putty works well but if you have admin authority and some extra space on the windows machine, it might be worth your while to look at cygwin. it basically creates a unix like environment under your windows instance. a little playing and tweaking and you'll even have native X on windows, allowing you to run applications from your headless machine but displayed on your windows machine.
I do not believe Putty contains an X server. Its a pure ssh client. If you want X, you have to add another application to your windows box. Google will find several for you.
