This doe what you want - not sure if it's optimal, but by putting it in /etc/rc.local I can see gdm on reboot:

x11vnc -xkb -auth guess -q -rfbauth /home/bhepple/.vnc/passwd -display :0 -clear_all -loop

Hmmm - apologies for repetition but it seems my followup was lost ...

I wanted to mention that it's probably a good idea to use a port other than the default to avoid conflict with other servers which might be running eg vino. I use "-rfbport 3389" as that port makes it through our firewall (it's the RDP port). Also I should mention that the remote screen is unlocked and alive so there are security concerns with this approach. Anyone know how to disable/lock it?
