Honestly, my intent was not to securely do it, but just to get it
working... like I said I've only done it over trusted networks. ssh is how
I connect telnet-style by default...
I apologise for not making that clear, and I guess I deserved the not so
pleasant response I got for not doing so.

This is the official SSH step we were missing in what I described... I
never separated out the SSH x forwarding problem from just using xhost
