Well - ok - that's not true. I have VNC setup to a private session of my user 
with login PW (VNC's password) on my server and that's how I sit on it most of 
the time.

So that's a very real possibility.

It requires loading Xvnc server on the schools system and then the admins 
setting up that desktop session for you.

Then you can connect at will using RealVNC on your windows box through an 
SSH/SSL tunnel. Putty can work for that. So can Bitvise's SSL/SSH Client. 
(which I've also used for more auto-perm SSH tunnels from Windows to a Unix 
system)
