That would be the job of remote X logins

Read up on XDMCP. I use it to access my OBSD box from my windows machine
across the room using X-Windows.
Although it does not allow multiple graphical logins from one machibe,
you can have multiple graphical logings to one server from many clients,
Kinda like a Windows Thin Client (whitch is itself modeled on XDMCP to
an extent).
