The graphical counterpart of screen is Xvnc (vncserver). I use it with
openSUSE 11.2, but I think other distros are similar:

- login to the remote host
- vncserver
this prints something like:
...
New 'X' desktop is remote:1
...
- logout

On your local machine:

- vncviewer remote:1
- open a terminal, start your job, ...

After exiting vncviewer, you can turn off your local machine.
