Are you using wayland on the desktop? https://blogs.s-osg.org/wow-
wayland-over-wire/ explains difficulties.  The wayland FAQ discusses a
number of possibilities for networking GUI apps under wayland.   Running a
VNC server on the desktop seems like
the least experimental option.  I use it on SL7, which uses a similar
systemd setup where a VNC server is started for each VNC
user:
