And for the twisty little terminals and cli compiles or sysmgr tasks, screen can help of course.

Yes, absolutely; these are one-shot sessions: Not useful for say getting on to a compile server and unthinkingly starting lots of compile sessions in a twisty little maze of terminal windows.

What I would myself really like is to have a combined form: the automatic niceness of the scheme I presented combined with persistent sessions that can be identified and reattached in a vnc viewer app.

Ther persistent session form can still be obtained in the traditional way, login, start vncserver in the background, go back and start a vnc viewer tool. Security seems less than perfect then.

The two ways complement each other.

That's interesting ... So correct me if I'm wrong, you VNC to your server on 5900, and you get a login prompt as if you were sitting down in front of the physical console. Every new connection to 5900 gets a new login prompt, so you don't have to consume more ports (5901, 5902, etc).

But if your VNC client crashes for some reason, what happens? I'm guessing the VNC session dies and all the programs inside it die too. There is no session manager; when you login to 5900 you can't reconnect to a previously existing session. Right?
