hmmmm ... i never tried that particular scenario, but i'm aware now that the newer and better way to grab the native X display is to use the vnc.so module. having said that, i've been unable to get that to work, despite a couple readable online pages. so, if anyone has an actual (heh heh) recipe for taking control of a remote desktop using vnc.so, feel free to drop me a note -- i'll test it, then wiki it for others.
I used it some versions back but I think the reason I quit was that it quit working at some point in the switch to Xorg. The current version seems to be named libvnc.so but I'm not sure if it is fixed and I don't have anything later than FC6 to test. It should just be a matter of adding the Load statement in your Xorg.conf and having a password file. This advice looks promising:
