Here is the map to freedom from all this nastiness:
use ssh -X to export X from applications to a desktop with an X-server.
Use the utility alacarte to export a handy guide for all the features that are normally accessed via graphical menus. Use "properties" of each menu item to find the command line necessary to invoke a GUI application that would normally be invoked through a menu. Use tuxmc or anything you like other than nautilus as a file manager.
Live the rest of your life without worrying what fedora or gnome has changed relative to the nautilus, gnome desktop, xdmcp, vnc, or remote access with whatever release or upgrade you are using.
If you always access a machine remotely, issue telinit 3 to shut down the graphical interface and x-server you will never need again. If you can ssh into your remote box and have a local x-server, you are good to go.
