[ale] vnc

[esoteric at denali.atlnet.com (Wandered Inn)]

Well, I just fired up a vncserver on my Linux box and then started the
vncviewer on my NT box.  Basically what you get is a window on your NT
box that is basically an X environment.  You can fire up x based
packages, I had an xterm and xeyes for fun.

So, you don't get an image of your existing Linux desktop.  When I
started the server on my Linux box, I started it from X.  So, vnc
displayed a message that the vncserver was started on display denali:1.

It's completely enclosed in a separate window, so you can inconize it
and go on about your ugly NT business.  It's very fast, much faster than
the Linux->NT solution, but the VNC folks say that up front.

So the answer is, this is a viable solution to the original poster,
sorry I forgot who it was... :)
