ssh -X -C -c blowfish username at server.example.com

This should allow a login, and everything will be normal SSH.  However, when
you run an X program it will appear on your local display, automatically
forwarded through the SSH tunnel.  Your local window manager will handle the
remote X client applications.

However, if you want a full remote desktop environment, you will need to use
XDMCP.  I don't know how to do that through a SSH tunnel.

If you plan on using remote X desktops, I recommend using VNC instead of X.
The bandwidth usage is much below X, and security is much better.  You can
also protect VNC with SSH tunnels in a similar fashion as X.  I am in the
process of writing a HOWTO on this topic, hopefully will be done next week.
