First just a FYI, simply closing the viewer has the same effect on the
server as a lost connection. Logging out, or otherwise terminating the
desktop environment on the server side is what will normally make the
server to away.
That said, there are some knobs to make things depend on timers. From
Xvnc's -help output:
MaxIdleTime - Terminate after s seconds of user inactivity (default=0)
MaxConnectionTime - Terminate when a client has been connected for s seconds
(default=0)
MaxDisconnectionTime - Terminate when no client has been connected for s
seconds (default=0)
IdleTimeout - The number of seconds after which an idle VNC connection
will be dropped (zero means no timeout) (default=0)
In your case it sounds like MaxDisconnectTime is the one you want.
