If you want to actually get an X desktop on your client from the FC5
machine, you need to enable XDMCP on the FC5 box. Login to it and run
gdmsetup to enable remote login. You'll have to unblock port 177 on
it, and you'll have to unblock port 6000 on your client.

Is there any reason you can't ssh to the host and run either
"gnome-session" or "startkde"? As far as I know, there isn't, so it's
trivial to run an X desktop via ssh rather than XDMCP.

Launching gnome-session on a remote host clashes badly with the existing
window manager on the local host. While it "runs," it's not really
functional.
I am missing something. Why do oyu need to run gnome from the remopte
machine?

I don't, but the OP asked specifically for help in "[pulling] up [his]
FC5 server's desktop" onto a Windows-based X server.
