Build VirtualBox with VNC support, then
   VBoxHeadless --startvm test --vnc --vncpass myvncpassword

Then use a VNC viewer to connect.

Thanks a lot!  Worked perfectly!  I just realized the "rdesktop" command I 
attempted to connect to that vnc before is NOT a vnc viewer :-(  And it's easy 
to tunnel the vnc traffic over ssh.
