I can only second this- X11 forwarding is just such a pain, especially when
your vpn connection drops 90% in the install.
Xming is a free x server for windows I occasionally use when directly plugged
into the company network.

I can't explain the difference in performance you are experiencing
between the VM guest and the PC desktop. But trying to display X
windows across WANs has brought me nothing but pain and grief over the
years. I pretty much use VNC exclusively when I need to display the
server's desktop.
