[mythtv-users] Ever use VNC? I find it really useful.

[Steve Dorsey]

I'd like to find a way to use VNC on the actual session (it's called  
a session, right?) that my PC is using when I am running mythtv. I  
used VNC on an old myth install a few years back, and it seemed to  
open a separate X session, and not relay the one that was on the  
screen of the PC.
