Does X2Go work for your use cases?

Or, wait, since you're running VMs, have you considered using VNC as
the
graphics console for your VMs and connecting directly?

Matt,
The primary mission of the server is mass storage (19 TB ZFS). Direct
console (MATE) and ssh connections meet those needs just fine. It's the
new mission objective of using that huge back-end storage space for
creating virtual machines to prototype new client servers (not yet
purchased). A VNC supporting the MATE desktop would be ideal since the
local console is located in an inconvenient space. My plans to use
TigerVNC to access virtual machines on this server now seem to be
torpedoed.
