Is it normal for Linux VNC either?  In Windows yes, you're both using
the same display, but in Linux and BSD, VNC will use display :1 while
the local user is using :0.  Therefore, under normal configuration, I
was under the impression that a local user in X and a VNC user were
using two different desktops.   (I never tried setting it up so that
both were using the same, so I don't know if that's easy or not in
Linux, though it is the default in Windows.)
