Remote X11 Gnome Session via SSH

I am trying to establish a remote X11 Gnome session via SSH
connecting from a local RH system to a remote RH server.

After connecting via SSH I attempt to start a gnome session
with the command “gnome-session &”. I am told that I already
have a session in progress and can’t start another, specifically the
message reads “gnome-smproxy session manager already running….”

My questions are:

 Is it possible to start a remote gnome session from a
     local gnome session.
 If so, how do I make this happen?
 If not, how do I start a remote desktop through ssh?
 Is there another (better) way? How do I start a VNC
     session?

Thanks for any help.

John
