You're right, vnc sends the picture. All vnc-view sessions to the same server should give the same view. What I said on the local X server was a local, console login with the default X server (for linux on PC's: XF86Free). For the xset thing, you can redirect xset to the other display with the -display option: If the $DISPLAY variable in the vnc session is :1.0, compare the results of xset -display :1.0 -q xset -display :0.0 -q Provided anyone is logged in on the local console and has no access restrictions.
