well ultimately, im looking for something that i can operate a headless server 
with.  the server itself wouldnt be pre-logged into any x session (be it kde, 
gnome, xfce or whatever), so thats why im trying to get its x session into a 
window of my local desktop.

i need to read up on x11vnc, and if it would do that, then i would open to 
looking at that to fill my need.
