The problem for me is that my primary display must be running a heavy app (ide), and I don't know when I am going to need to run it remotely. VNC would be great if I could turn it on and off without having to kill my ide. I tried TightVNC for about a week, but screen repaints (particularly of Java apps like my ide) were noticably lagged, and I didn't need remote access for the whole week, so I went back to normal X. x0rfbserver sounds like what I want (thanks Peter!). From the man page.
