I use NX frequently.  It is a form of X forwarding, but much, much
faster.  It can almost fool you into thinking you are local.  There is
some configuration overhead compared to, say, VNC, but once it is set
up it is great.

It uses SSH for transport, so if your users need to be able to create ssh keys.
