It's a tiny bit more complicated then that, correct me if I'm wrong 
because I'd like to know.

The standard VNC servers start up a new X session when you start them, 
and you can then VNC into that from anywhere, but even you need to VNC 
into it, meaning that you need VNC control, meaning in turn that anyone 
viewing it can control it (unless your server supports that kind of 
access control, I don't know if any do).

However there is the xf4vnc http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ server that 
apparently can integrate into the running session.  I don't know how or 
what is required, all I really know about xf4vnc was that it allowed me 
to vnc a openGL application.
