Seems to work
In Landscape mode, assuming Termux, bVNC, and Hacker's Keyboard (or physical keyboard?) are installed:
Quote:
0. Launch the Termux app
1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xe.../enablerepo.sh
2. bash enablerepo.sh
3. pkg install termux-desktop
4. startx
5. Follow the directions to set up a password and then type Control-C to stop
6. Edit ~/.vnc/config so it has the line: securitytypes=vncauth
7. startx
8. Launch the bVNC app and set up a new connection with:
Connection Type: Basic VNC
VNC Connection Settings: 127.0.0.1 5901
# No Username
Password set up earlier in step 5
9. Click 'Connect'

Observations:
0. Not sure if any window manager other than OpenBox is available at the moment.
1. The bVNC button palette (?) in the middle of the right side of the screen (typically hidden initially but can be made visible by touching / tapping around where it ought to appear), can be used to bring up an on-screen keyboard, as well as a menu (which includes useful commands such as 'disconnect'). Note: the palette doesn't appear easily accessible while the on-screen keyboard is displayed.
2. The "Back" key (right-most of the four hardware buttons) appears to bring up a menu from which a terminal may be started. When the on-screen keyboard is displayed, the "Back" key appears to dismiss the keyboard.
3. Programs can also be started from termux sessions as long as an appropriate DISPLAY environment variable has been set (typically: export DISPLAY=:1)
4. Portrait mode operation was cumbersome.
5. Ok, may be one might quibble as to whether this counts as a Desktop environment -- it gets close though, possibly a matter of creating and installing some appropriate Termux packages
