Ha hA!  You can use the Weak GUI stuff that KDE and Gnome offer.   Don't 
get me wrong - it's ok.  But unless your app conforms to thier 
extensions, it's not that great.   However, FUSE 
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ is new hotness.   You get it, and that 
builds a kernel module to allow FSs implemented in userspace to work.  
Then you Install the ssh-fuse thing, then follow the instructions.   
Under Gentoo you may have to unmask the fuse-ssh, but fuse is a kernel 
module.

Cliff has it working on FC4.  It's pretty simple.  Supposedly 2.6.13, or 
2.6.14 at the latest will have this as part of the kernel proper.   
Furthermore, in 3 or 4 majors lots of people would like to be rid of the 
current NFS implementation in the kernel.   There is talk of replacing 
kernel-NFS with fuse-nfs.  (Which I have never tested...) 

So, Fuse is cool and I think that was what Cliff was chatting up.
