I access gnucash that runs on my FC4 desktop/server machine from WinXP using 
FreeNX/nx. FreeNX uses optimized X over ssh. Running it remotely over the 
internet is amazingly responsive. I run my KDE desktop remotely over a 384K 
DSL line with hardly any lag. 

This is how I configured FreeNX originally on my FC2 system. Current FreeNX/nx 
is much easier to set up.

If you do it this way, be sure to install all the fonts from nomachine.
