I'd get all your users Starbucks gift cards. Couldn't hurt. :-(

You might want to look into something like TightVNC or RealVNC.
Several of our programmers think highly of this solution for
display of a remote machine on their local machine. The advantage
is that only the things on the display that have changed are
sent across, not the whole damn display each time. This makes
it much faster, apparently, then an X server solution.

Cheers,

David
