Remote contol a linux machine from XP


Hello
I am trying to connect from an XP machine to redhat 9, so that I can view the redhat 9 machines GUI and take remote control of it. I am having troubles doing this. So far I have managed to set up a tunnel using Putty from the xp machine and then using TightVNC viewer to connect to the linux machine. It will conect but all I get is a grey screen and a shell window. The cursor turns into a X, so i think i am roughly on the right track, but for some reason the GUI will not display. Any ideas, or any tutorials where I could have a look.
I can display individual application like kedit, but not the whole desktop.
Thanks
