Thanks to all the people who responded  to my query on this. I now 
have the perfect solution, involving the use of vncserver and vncviewer.

I run vncserver on startup and in /etc/vnc.conf specify an XSession 
startup file
(in my case ~/.vnc/Xsession) where I execute the wm and apps I want to start.

At any time I can view this X-session by running vncviewer.

Running this via my W2K X-Windows emulator, the optimum parameters are:

vncviewer - geometry 640x480 -noauto -encoding raw

I've put these into an alias, so i only need type vncviewer :1

cheers

Andrew
