I know with vnc you can access virtual desktops, but is there a way to view the current desktop on a kde session? I tried changing the .vnc/xstartup and added the startkde & at the end to get the gui working, but can only get virtual desktops to show. or if there is a different software to use that someone else might know about.
Using CentOS 3.4

#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde &

Umm...this isn't exactly what you are asking for, but it could be more of what you are looking for:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-1606.html (it's a fedora guide, but it works w/ CentOS, RHEL, etc.)
Basically it's a guide on how to setup vnc to talk to gdm. It's very cool. It allows you to connect to your machine via vnc, and have a regular gdm login screen. I find it very useful, because many of my end-users want a stinkin gui. =] And this way I can just run vnc from xinetd for all the users, instead of have a separate Xvnc process for each user.

You may also want to look at x11vnc. It doesn't require a change to X configuration, so it has somewhat more flexibility.
There used to be a x0vncserver as part of the rfb package that worked too. But since it does no longer build ol newer Fedora released (due to the newer gcc) and is no longer developped/supported, x11vnc is a much better option overal.

Do you perhaps mean x0rfbserver?
The x0vncserver executable is in the base vnc-server package now. Works fine, I was just playing with it this morning.
