If Java, you need a browser that can run Java applets, e.g. FireFox. T start VNC, login to the directory that contains WINE with PuTTY, run: vncserver and make a note of the desktop number it says it will use (usually 1). You can logout from PuTTY or not, as you please. If you have vncviewer, start it: vncviewer When prompted, enter "hostname:n" where 'n' is the desktop number. Now it will prompt for the password for the login where you ran vncserver. When that's accepted it will open a desktop for your remote host. Alternatively, fire up your web browser and type in the url "hostname:580n" where 'n' is the desktop number (usually 1). The browser will show a VNC banner page and pop yo a dialogue box showing "hostname:n". Click OK and another popup appears, asking for the login where you ran vncserver. When that's accepted it will open a desktop for your remote host. To close either desktop, click its 'close' icon. You can leave vncserver running and close and reopen the desktop as many times as you want. vncserver will keep running until you either reboot the host or login again via PuTTY and stop it by running: vncserver -kill :n where 'n' is the desktop number. VNC's desktop defaults to xfce and opens a terminal window on starting, where you can type the wine command, etc. When an app wants to open a window, a ghost window trails from the mouse pointer: click where you want to put its top left corner on the VNC desktop. If you like VNC but not xfce, you can configure it to use Gnome or KDE instead, but two thinks to note: (1) accept the default desktop size and (2) you'll find the colours are relatively poor because VNC only uses 16 bit colour.
