As I have a couple of Linux boxes now running in Virtual PC 2007, I wanted them accessible regardless of where I am working. I could have either taken the approach of sharing the VHDs on the network and dealing with network traffic, or just tried Remote Desktop. Currently I'm trying the Remote Desktop approach.
I discovered that when I connect to my Ubuntu 6.10 session via Remote Desktop, I seem to have some sort of mis-synchronization with the mouse. So this brings up the next good workaround for Gnome/KDE - I found a great list of keyboard shortcuts for navigating:
