How can I connect to a remote X client?  Can I run a Gnome display from
some remote host in a window inside my default display?  Can I do it in
a virtual console?

I think I'm groping in the right area but it hasn't dawned on me how to
do this.

I have a PC which starts up in runlevel 5 and runs gnome.  I want it to
do this every time it boots - this part works fine today.  I want to be
able to connect to some remote host and run full screen (or nearly full
screen) while retaining the ability to toggle between the two displays. 
Since I know I will get some well intended suggestions which won't be
the least bit helpful, here is a list of things I don't want help with:
 
I do NOT want to run chooser to do this - I always want my local X on my
default display when I boot.
I do not want to tunnel individual x apps through ssh.
I do not want to use VNC instead.

FYI, once I understand how to do this I will want to script up a VPN
client connection followed by an X connection to a remote host.  I know
how to handle the VPN part already.
