True, but there is no preservation of the session. The original
developers of VNC (Olivetti UK) wanted this feature so that people
could disconnect their viewer at work, go home, reconnect and be
exactly where they had left off.

If you need to access the system in short bursts, as I often do my
office machine from home, then IMHO VNC is far superior to X11
forwarding.
