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.
