You will want to use either xf4vnc (xf4vnc.sf.net) or vnc-X-session or vncquick (www.pcxperience.org).
| VNC has the added advantage of allowing a user to sign out without | ending a session, so programs can continue to run. This can cause its | own problems, however.
Only if you do not use VNC as your actual X session or run everything in your VNC session and not run anything on your local X session.
| VNC has a few inconveniences, though. | | 1. Programs cannot move from one Xdisplay to another, so your users will | need to either a) run all of their programs on the Xvnc display or b) | restart the problem program on the Xvnc display when they need help. | | 2. You won't be able to see the student's cursor, and he won't be able | to see yours. You will see the results of each other's mouse movements.
This is the case with the defaults with certain versions of vncveiwer/server. If you are using TightVNC, there are options to re-enable the display and tracking of the mouse cursor.
