For more info on VNC and SSH tunnels, check out these urls:

http://pigtail.net/LRP/vnc/
http://vortex.brynmawr.edu/vnc/ (with putty)

Note that if the system you are connecting from also has X windows 
installed and you only want to run some X apps, you can get by with 
adjusting the ssh config files in order to allow these sort of things.

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
change this line "X11Forwarding no" to "X11Forwarding yes"

Then you can run an X app like this. For instance run an xterm:
ssh -X <hostname> /usr/bin/X11/xterm
