In addition to the suggestions others have made, you can also install VNC server on your linux machine (most distros have a package for it) and use a VNC client from your Windows machine to connect to it. You can run multiple displays within the VNC server (each one for different users if you like) and the sessions will stay persistent even after you disconnect with your VNC client. I usually find this is the simplest way to run X programs from Windows since most admin types running Windows have a VNC client installed already...
Yes, vncserver works pretty well if you have a fast local connection - and it is easy to set up. The freenx, NX client combination does approximately the same thing but is much more efficient because it uses X protocol instead of just bitmaps - and it can resize the screen as you connect from different clients. It also tunnels everything over ssh so you don't have to arrange that yourself.
