If you like VNC, have you looked at UltraVNC SC? http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html I don't know successful this would be through a firewall, but as far as I remember your configuration of the Server (the executable created by SC) references a host and port on which you run a VNC Viewer in Listening mode so their may be potential to do something around that perhaps?
Since all my family run on windows boxes at the moment, I have them registered with logmein and support them from linux but I've had success with the SC stuff in the past.

Thanks, I'll take a look (also I was thinking logmein.com would work too).
Notably neither of these are fully Linux compatible. Are there any remote support type options that have Linux versions? In particular linux clients (logmein is java based and works on Linux, just no server option; I've not tried TeamViewer). TeamViewer has a Mac option, though.
