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.
