VNC comes with it's own X-Server. So all you see if you connect to vnc is an x-term. But there is no need of an additional X-server on the (database) server side.

After vnc is installed you may connect to the server with telnet and type:

$ vncserver [maybe additional options]

Then you start vncviewer from your win32 machine and connect to vnc. As an alternative you may contact the vncserver with your web browser. This is an option if you install vnc. You simply have to put a java class somewhere on the CLASSPATH.
