A nice advantage of VNC is that it doesn't crash the server processes when
the remote viewer is closed or interrupted etc. You can use the remote
viewer to start a process, close the remote viewer and the process should
continue, so you can later restart the viewer to check where it's up to.
I've only found that you might have to be careful about setting up the
default Xwindow manager for the VNC sessions. Some X applications require
specific window managers. Perhaps check the VNC documentation for how to
modify, if necessary, the startup parameters.
