I didn't know this existed. I think someone on this list asked about
this. Basically the question is "Can I get vnc in linux/unix to act the
way it does in windows (ie. connecting the current desktop to a vnc
session, rather than creating a new desktop)? The answer seems to be
yes, if you use this X11 extension. I don't have a monitor attached to
my linux machine anymore, so I can't really test this, but it does seem
to work. At least, I can see the gdm screen and such. These extensions
are precompiled in Xorg for FC3. I hear it kind of sucks to compile
XFree86/Xorg from scratch.
