/etc/sysconfig/vncserver will set up dedicated sessions for the users 
on your system, already logged in and persistent between disconnects.

Or you can kick off Xvnc from inetd to get the gdm/kdm/xdm login 
screen, with a new session being created on the fly for each connection 
into inetd and being destroyed upon disconnection.

I use both methods, but the latter method is quite popular at work and 
has saved my employer thousands that would have otherwise been spent on 
either Hummingbird Exceed licenses or a second desktop computer for 
Linux (the primary desktop platform is and probably will remain 
Windows).
