you already seem to have your solution and it sounds to be a pretty
'thin' solution, but just to add on after - I would probably choose
vnc and set/give a readonly password.   it's notoriously insecure, 
so it'd also (probably) need a ssh tunnel to run through, but I 
still find it handy and it can do most anything an xsession can.
