Tomasz,
you can do this by connecting to a vnc-session on your homecomputer via NX.

If you install NX and vnc-server on your home computer, and then 
configure the NX client to connect to vnc with vnc server='the 
LAN-adress of your homecomputer'. You will then use the ssh-tunnel to 
connect to the nx-server, which in turn connects to the vnc-server 
(locally) using the highly optimized vnc-compression already available 
in the NX-sw.

Like this;
                    ssh/nx                        vnc
NX Client =======NX Server ----------VNC Server (desktop)
