How to forward vnc for multiple hops

Question

I have 2 machines Intrim and Remote. I have to go through Intrim to get to Remote. Normally I just do this:

ssh -X Intrim #now I'm in Intrim
ssh -X Remote

And I just open up things with the forwarded x. But vnc is way better. How can I do this with vnc?

A perfect solution would let me just vnc to Intrim and automatically see my Remote desktop.

From your workstation:

$ ssh -L5900:localhost:5900 user@interim.host

From interim.host:

$ ssh -L5900:localhost:5900 user@remote.host

Then connect your local VNC client to localhost:5900.
