Sounds about right. If you set up x11vnc on the same box to start from a
.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart, you can vnc to that to see what is
happening in the actual onair studio (for instance) or to pretend you are
there when no jock is present. Then the vncserver / vncuser combo will give
other users the ability to log in to that machine and have their own
desktop. If I understand correctly how you have that one set up.
I would watch carefully to make sure the vnc users don't bog down the
machine to the detriment of the onair studio. Before I was involved with
Rivendell on a professional level, I once set up a linux machine that
allowed multiple different users to log on at the same time via vnc so that
jocks could check their email and other things without having to run those
apps on a windows based onair machine.
