i just now noticed, in the files that come with the vnc-server package, the "x0vncserver" program. "man x0vncserver": "x0vncserver is a VNC server which continuously polls any X display, allowing it to be controlled via VNC..." ok, so does that give one the ability to control a remote session, the way paul johnson was waxing nostalgic about earlier? i must investigate further ...
There are any number of ways to 'control a remote session'. If you mean specifically while it is also displayed on the main console, then the X module is one way to do it. I think KDE and Gnome have desktop sharing options too. I usually run the desktop I want to share under freenx and always access it remotely since the performance is better than vnc - but vnc is good enough it you just want to check some long-running program occasionally.
