I have this setup for a user who needs access to simply accounting.  The
windows XP is in the "server room" (read closet) with the ltsp server.

Simply (from memory):

1) Right Click My computer, properties
2) Select the Remote tab
3) Select Allow Remote access
4) Add users
5 ) Go to Linux and run rdesktop -a 16 192.168.2.56 (or what ever)

If Windows XP starts up and immediately closes the connection close the
damn nvidia "helper" service.

It works fine, no additional licenses required since it allows only one
user to connect either local or remote (not both).
