Correct. You can use a remote desktop application to get to a graphical
desktop (assuming the machine you are trying to get to is configured for
that). Ssh is not a graphical relay though you can do some port
forwarding things to make it possible to use a remote desktop.
As I really dislike graphical things I would hav to look up the setting
again but I do know that years ago I was able to use a remote desktop to
access both linux and windows machines. If they require accessibility
then you have to have things like orca running on those machines and
forward sound.

And here is the answer.
You cannot ssh into a graphical desktop.
which was actually the question. I understood that one can do so with any
shell, but since my associate was asking about reaching a graphical desktop,
that was the focus of my question.

As far as I know all additions of ubuntu have a shell of some sort. All
the graphical stuff run on top of a shell. If ssh is installed and
configured then you should be able to ssh into any version of ubuntu. You
will, of course not have the graphical desktop. I do this with virtual
machines all the time some running as servers without graphics and some
running a desktop.

I am not talking about shellworld, as I am using it now.
In fact I can ssh into shellworld from my DOS computer.
However, shellworld is a shell, not a graphical desktop edition of
Ubuntu.
same can be said for the shell dreamhost, who is the hosting service for
my office, provides its clients.
My question is related to an entirely different issue, where a work
associate asked if one could do what I do, but into a strictly graphical
desktop of Ubuntu.
