We've always lacked a reliable mechanism to do this, even though it is an important function. In fact, despite the painfully slow performance of remote VNC connections, the single feature making VNC worthwhile for most of its users is you can detach from a running session for a long period of time and then re-attach to find it in the same state as before. NX and FreeNX have been supporting this feature for quite some time already."
