The write program :)  Others recon getting normal xserver running is
easy, but I never figured it out, and I wanted it to behave like windows
VNC anyway and hijack the current session.

I posted about rfb a while back, including examples of how to use it ... but 
there are not searching thingamies of the list now.

look at rfb of x11vnc.  Both will export your 'active' X11 session to a
standard VNC viewer.
