I had the same problem at work, but thankfully they gave me a second
desktop on which I installed Ubuntu Linux. I run wmii on the Ubuntu
machine and use the `rdesktop` program to essentially "VNC" into to my
Windows machine.
If your workplace won't give you a second machine, I would recommend:
* make friends with someone in IT to give you a static IP and
"look the other way" about you having a non-Windows machine ;-)
* bring in an old desktop / laptop or buy a cheap netbook
* install your favorite OS that is capabale of running wmii
* connect your Windows machine's monitor to your wmii machine
* `rdesktop` from wmii into your Windows machine (which is now headless)
Finally, enjoy blissful wmii productivity!
Cheers.
