Hi, I'm not a linux shell expert so I'm not sure if the vino server will continue to run after the ssh session has ended. However you can "restart" the vino service by issuing a killall vino-server followed by /usr/lib/vino/vino-server &
Maybe starting vino-server using screen would work? Oh this was tested under Ubuntu 10.04 not sure if the vino location is the same on Debian or not. As an aside Vino is rubbish with fast screen updates and has kind of crashed on me several times. I've read a lot about using tightvnc which is supposed to be better but I never got around to setting it up.
