If your XP laptop contains stuff that you really have to use, then
you can't do what works for me.

I don't use Windows at home (most of the time) so I VPN into work
from Linux.   I open "rdesktop" and connect to my desktop XP
machine at work.  That gives me the Windows stuff -- Mainly Outlook
and Remedy -- and it's just like being at the office for "office" type 
stuff.

I may also have left some X sessions open on my XP desktop, talking
to the *nix servers on which I actually work, so if I connect from
home it's Linux desktop  ->  XP  ->  *nix.   I may also bypass
the remote desktop with ssh or browsers from my Linux desktop.
Makes the head hurt to think about it . . .    :-)
