[KLUG Members] VMware from remote?

[Adam Williams6]

I have VMware workstation 3.0 on my workstation at the office with an 
instance on NT4.0sp5  that I use for diagnostics.

On the workstation I can 
"vmware -X /usr/local/vmware/win32/NT4/3/winNT.cfg" and the instance boots 
and runs in full screen mode without any fuss,  I only have to look at the 
VMware window for a couple of seconds.  Then Ctrl-Alt-F3 is WinNT and 
Ctrl-Alt-F4 is GNOME (Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2 are console screens).  I have the 
best of all worlds.  (And occasionally Ctrl-Alt-F5 is a web server, and 
Ctrl-Alt-F6 is a middle tier server, while Ctrl-Alt-F7 is a database 
server.  This is great stuff,  Hey, where did all the RAM go!!!).

Anyway the "problem" is that one has to have a $DISPLAY for all this work.  
I'd like to logout of the NT instance and out of GNOME while leaving the 
NT instance (or others) running.  Especially since I can access the NT 
instance via VNC.  Ideally I'd like to be able to ssh into the workstation 
and start an instance.

I anyone has an ideas how to whack VMware's UI or simply fake-it-out,  I'm 
all ears.
