Lubuntu Via Remote Desktop

I'm using *x11vnc*... It's quite simple, you can activate when needed or
make a simples script to run on startup. I also use *vncserver*, it is a
little hard to setup, and you will probably connect to a different display,
so, on the case to assist an user, it is not good!
