Yep. That's why x11vnc is so nice - it just makes the X server screen
available via VNC and you can connect and disconnect at will and the X
server neither knows nor cares.

(Note that VNC works by blasting bitmaps across the network, and I've
seen x11vnc produce noticeable CPU load on a 400MHz box running a
1024x768 screen. A newer machine will hardly notice the load.)


- d.
