There was a discussion about vnc here a long time back along those
lines. Essential, vnc displays the only screen in a M$ environment, but
*nix gets a new screen unless special steps are taken. I don't remember
the details of hand, but it involved possibly the use of the screen
command coupled with xdm/kdm/gdm. It was good for remote access, but the
console user had to jump through hoops to make it work.
