Exactly - and this is why the first thing I do when I enter my office is:

	ssh -X toon@moene.org

and work from there.

Company- and / or Institution-wide IT policies (especially with respect 
to computer security) are so restrictive these days that it actually 
pays off to work at home (or at least, fake it in the above way).

I fear the day that our IT department will disable outgoing ssh 
connections, because that means I actually have to take days off from 
work to get any work done.
