To allow vnc to connect to the x session running on the console you
can run x0rfbserver.  For a long-running background vnc session
you need to start vncserver yourself instead of letting xinetd start
a fresh session for every connection.  It will tell you the screen
number to use to connect when you start it and it will keep running
until you kill it.  There is some extra setup for passwords and
the kind of session to start.
