As William Hooper posted, you can access the physical
remote desktop with VNC.  It's great for training and
tech support purposes, but IMHO you would rarely want
to remotely access your own machine in this way. It is
less secure (someone walking by can see and affect what
you are doing), performance is worse, and mismatched
screen resolutions can cause problems.

You probably want a virtual normal desktop.  To get that,
just edit the xstartup script in your .vnc directory.
Find the line that says:
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
and follow its advice.
