Run a winvnc server in your windows guest as well as Xvnc in the 
linux host. Then connect to the windows server. This should 
work transparently with bridged networking. I have it working 
with host-only networking as well; it just requires forwarding 
port 5900 to internal network vmnet1. Run vmware inside Xvnc with 
a minimalist window manager.
