indeed - these are the two packages I'd have mentioned too. Xnest allows
you to run a whole new X session inside a window and NX or FreeNX does
fantastic things with compression and round-trip suppression to give
very snappy response even over ADSL. I even used it over ISDN at it is
quite usable.
NX is now free-ish for a limited number of concurrent connections.
