   Thanks for the heads-up.  After searching 'vnc' on Synaptic, I found    
   'vino' which is described as a "VNC server for GNOME" with description:     
   "VNC is a protocol that allows remote display of a user's desktop.  This    
   package provides a VNC server that integrates with GNOME, allowing you to    
   export your running desktop to another computer for remote use or    
   diagnosis."   
      
   Seems to be just what I was looking for.

   Yes, not running

   Installed and running, thanks.

   This is probably this 'vino' application you are thinking about.   
      
   Take care.
