I am assuming that you want to access the physical display of the 
server. Use can use the builtin vino server (assuming you are using 
gnome). You can configure it by running `vino-preferences'. You should 
"Allow other users to view your desktop" for the vino-server to start.

Then, install the xvnc4viewer package on the client to connect to the 
server.
