I use VNC for two things - one is to connect to the regular X server that
is running the frontend. I can't watch anything via VNC but I can use it
schedule records etc. I also have a separate Xvnc server that I keep logged
in so that I can instantly access a desktop on that machine (i.e. a
persistent session).
AFAIK you can't do either of those things with X forwarding.
Cheers,
Steve
