VNC *IS* an X server -- you run it on your Linux box and then attach to it.
Stuff running under it is going to display 10:0 IIRC.  You can attach to it
equally well from your Windows machine, or from a remote location (assuming
reasonable bandwidth).

It will not give you a copy of the display on the Linux machine (unless the
Linux machine is also running the vnc client), but it will give you
persistant access to the windows there.  It's like "screen", but more
GUI.
