If you're connecting to a linux server from Windows,
why not just do it via ssh and an X session? I use
cygwin's ssh and x-windows implementation on the
Windows side. Install cygwin
(http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) on the Windows side,
open its X-Windows ('xinit') and do an 'ssh -X
<user>@<host>' in one of the xterms; once connected
issue 'gnome-session' or 'startkde' depending on which
environment you want to work in. It's much more
secure than VNC.
