Hello,

Try some like that :
- First run X-Win32 on your WinXp client ;
- Then run these commands on your Linux box (using putty for example) :
    $ export DISPLAY=10.0.0.201:0.0
    $ xhost + 10.0.0.201
    $ /usr/bin/startkde &

- replace 10.0.0.201 with the @ip of your WinXP client ;
- replace kde by your graphical environment.

I think that you can run these commands automatically when you launch a
session with XWin32, with writing a script on Linux that is executed at
the startup of XWin32.
