Remote desktop

[Stew Schneider]

Oh, man! I hate when my brain freezes and takes my Googling skills with 
it...I am a complete blank. Somebody give me a kick start.

I did something with a Dapper installation that allowed me to connect to 
the login screen from a Windows box using tightVNC. I could then log 
into my account on the Linux box and do what was needed. At the end of 
the session, I end the session, Kubuntu logs out of KDE and waits at the 
graphic login screen for the next time. In other words, the VNCServer 
survives the X restart. Tried it today on another machine, and couldn't 
reconnect. I don't want to leave an open Kubuntu session running on a 
headless box....how did I do this before? If I remember correctly, it 
had something to do with the init scripts, but I cannot recall what.

In Googling for an answer, I ran into references to freeNX. Anybody got 
any comments about it?
