thanks for the response.

No it will not allow me to view anything until the user is logged in. I enabled remote desktop sharing from with preferences of GNOME. I beleive it uses Vino under the hood:

PHP Code:
ps -ef|grep -i vino 
testuser   2357  2227  0 Oct04 ?        00:00:01 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable 
You have a good point in seeing if maybe vino can be configured to allow the user to see the login in screen at the GDM manager login. I will look into it a give some feedback soon. I do rememeber me using X2VNC before.
