Depends what you mean by host and remote machine. Assuming that remote
machine is the one you are typing at :-), which will have krdc on it,
then all you need is a VNC server on the host machine in order to run
applications remotely. Most (not all) VNC servers create separate X
sessions  so you don't take over the running desktop on the host, you
would normally use host:1 or similar to connect.
