I have a similar requirement. I forward my VNC ports instead of fumbling
with how the various ssh software will handle the display forwarding.
Then I run vncserver on the endpoint and direct my local VNC client to
localhost. Things run more smoothly over the Internet as I only wait for
screen updates instead of critical data to traverse.
