How difficult would it be to make the equivalent of Windows Terminal Server with Wine?

I did something similar.

I used X, and have written an IE embeddable OCX that automatically 
Installs X-Server and connects to the X applications on the server, in 
my case they are Windows apps running under wine. So basically you set 
up a web server on your Linux machine. You put a page with the different 
apps you want to serve. The user uses IE to navigate to that page. When 
clicking, the App comes up as a window in his/her machine. First time 
visit Installs a 12M  Cygwin/X server.

I do intend to publish the OCX project as GPL. And the wise-script to 
package the Cygwin/X installation. And also have available the binary 
package.

Hope that can help
