FWIW, If you want to spend money on the project, and have a Linux box
lying around.

VMware will remote display via a X connection (or at least it used to -
been a while since I did it. Confirm it with the demo.)

It gives you some keyboard grab warnings, and won't do full screen, but
it did work.

(And from what I remember of SW 4 off a SS5, its lots better.)

Bewarned, VMWare really likes their products, and charges accordingly.
:-(
