Forget what I said. It does indees seem to be possible, now that I google 
for it. It's called shadowing, I have to try this out. So I'd say, use NX, 
or one of the varieties. I'd choose net-misc/nxserver-freeedition, it's 
free for up to two people, and said to be most reliable. Although I 
sometimes have different problems.
There's also FreeNX which I used most often, but it is no longer under 
development. x2go is the replacement, but does not yet have all the 
features. And neatx is the google variant, did not try this out much yet.
