I don't know if I'm right but anyway ....what about adding a new user to
the PC you want to access,setting the user  DISPLAY variable to 0:0 in
the .bash_profile file in his home directory and accessing the PC
X-server typing (when you are root) xhost + name_of_the_host on Your_PC
and launching the X applications from your PC (after connecting to it
via SSH o telnet)?
It's not "elegant" but it can work ....
Let me know
