Nowadays, you have VNC servers which act as X11 clients and export whatever X11 display you point them at. Those are the VNC servers which come with GNOME and KDE as their "remote desktop" offerings. Here's one: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ BTW, those kind of VNC servers only became possible (with reasonable performance) with the introduction of the DAMAGE extension, so they pretty much have to run on a modern X server - or otherwise there'll be very CPU-intensive screen polling.
