Everyone worth it's bits knows that The Right Way(TM) to do it is run X over Emacs.No, the right way is to use a shell connection (not X) into the machine in question and have it transparently shuffle the files into your local copy of Emacs. For example, if you do
C-x C-f /ssh:frodo@barad-dur.mordor.xxx:/mnt/doom RET
then you'll get secure access to /mnt/doom
as user frodo
on host barad-dur.mordor.xxx
without ever having to leave your local copy of Emacs.

Distributed file access is important, but it's not the only thing.

So it'd be worth to give that a try. That said, there are doubtlessly advantages to the remote X setup, which I do appreciate in other occassions.
For your case (keeping the session alive), Emacs server might be an option too.
