With control terminal you mean X server or a text console? For text
console you can use screen, I guess.

The traditional way is to use Xvfb, it comes with X (maybe in a
accessory package, it varies with distros). It is a dumb X server for
testing or background usage.

VNC also comes with some distros, but it usage is more for roaming or
serving X to machines that do not have X (aka MS Windows when you do
not want to pay more software).

In both cases, gimp -i saves the creation of interface for faster load
and probably faster work due not doing renderings to "monitor" (you
still need some kind of X so the libs can work).
