What you are trying should work without running X at the console, but you might like the freenx/NX client even better.  That gives you a complete remote X desktop with very good performance that you can disconnect and reconnect with everything still running.  See www.nomachine.com for the client (linux/windows/mac) details but you can get freenx from the epel repo.

I would also recommend NX. CentOS supplies freenx/nx, no need to go to EPEL. :-)

Please follow the instructions here:

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try. I have heard of FreeNX, but never used it.

Have a great week!
