using vino/vncviewer

[Noah Dain]

you can still run a stand-alone vnc server (does not use the current
desktop).  several, in fact.  OR you can simply ssh into the box and
run an X11 application and it will show up on the screen that you are
currently using if you have an Xserver running there (linux in
graphical mode, or windows with 3rd party software - ie
hummingbird($$),  cygwin(free) ).

the vnc server route gives you the option of disconnecting and
reconnecting from the session without the programs terminating
(somewhat like remote desktop in windows).
