It's generally annoying to have your session killed when your connection 
  breaks for any reason.  Someone else suggested vncserver which will 
work but I'd recommend freenx with the NX client on the other end. 
Either of these will let you reconnect to running sessions.  Also note 
that these approaches aren't the same as desktop sharing since they run 
in different sessions than the console but that's not likely to matter 
on a headless box.
