well, this is correct - when you stop the telnet session all childs of it are killed too. Though the server keeps running, the window manager is killed. And therefor your desktop is gone. If you go this way, just keep the telnet session open until you don't need the display any longer. Then stop the server and logout. Another way is using the server on inetd giving you your login screen when you start the client. The telnet stuff is not needed then. A step-by-step routine is at http://www.schmiddis- flieger.de/rechts/xvnc.html - it's based on solaris8-X86, but should work on your system the same way.
