rdesktop is doing a fine job for RDP (remote desktop protocol).
It will always authenticate first. If nobody's logged into the

connect & authenticate again (I only just tested this).
To tunnel this through SSH or whatever, you'd probably need
OpenSSH installed on the Windows system and fiddle around some.
It might be less fiddling to setup IPSec encryption in some
cases (which is included in W2K or XP and can be had for Linux).
RDP is certainly more lightweight than VNC.
Another option would be NX - I'm not sure though whether the
FreeNX server has already been ported to the Windows platform.

I would suggest the following:
- VNC through an ssh tunnel
- RDC (remote desktop connection) through an ssh tunnel
What client do you use on Linux for RDC? And does it allow to take
control of an existing user session?
