Not sure about step by step, but you should be able to use vncserver (In atleast SuSE 8.1), and use a vnc client for windows.
I've used a windows vnc from SuSE and it worked great, just type vncviewer and enter the IP in the box and the password in the next box.

Actually what I want to do is run a Win2K based X server (my flavor is X-Win32) and connect to the Suse box using the XDMCP protocol on Query mode. So, I fire up X-Win32 select my linux session and I get the exact same GUI I would get as if I logged in directly on the linux box. Worked great when I did this with Redhat. Suse is giving me fits! The layout of X config files is *totally* different. Sigh ...
Are you running kdm? If so, all you need to do is to set, in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" and run SuSEconfig, and restart kdm with "rcxdm restart". If you're running other display managers you'll need to set it up differently, but on the other hand that should be identical across distributions, since it uses the core X config files from XFree86 Anders
