[X-Unix] GUI Login via SSH?

Is there any way to dismiss the login window and login as a (GUI)  
user via ssh?

Does that make any kind of sense?

I'm using Remote Desktop to administer a bunch of client machines  
but, if no user is logged in, I can't get to the machines through  
Remote Desktop (unless there's some trick I'm missing?). i.e. If the  
remote computer is showing the login window I can't get to the  
machine via Remote Desktop. So how do I get the remote machine to get  
a user logged in as if they're at the console so that I can get in  
via Remote Desktop?

Anyone got any help here?

I'm going for that coffee now. Think I need it.
