To summarize both solutions, I'd suggest creating the following: 1) A VNC server which is started automatically (with the OS as an SMF service or via a legacy init-script), or is started by your application's initialization routine. The VNC server has a particular IP port assigned (maybe on the localhost or accessible over the network) and an X11 display number. You might need some tricks to ensure that this number is reserved for the VNC display, i.e. start it as the first X server on the system, before SRSS.
2) A kiosk session assigned to that smartcard which automatically launches a vncviewer program to see what happens in that VNC server. VNC can be configured to allow many clients to view and/or control the same server. This way the VNC display will be accessible to your app after the reboot and regardless of SRSS or anyone interactively logging in at all. For example in our practice, OpenOffice is used as a filter for Alfresco CMS, and even headless OOO requires an X11 display. The VNC trick is used successfully on that box, even though there is no OOO window in that session to look at. To create custom Kiosk sessions you could use my FLButselector package (published on sun-rays.org), though I think latest SRSS includes options to customize kiosks as well (in legacy times there used to be just one type of kiosk, and any customization started from the same template session).
