That's really a stupid thing to occur. I've seen that sort of thing back in 
F5 or so when trying to configure the display. Nothing shows up on the 
remote VNC session but the GUI tool pops up on the directly connected 
console screen. Seems like remote VNC sessions have a lot of "issues" that 
don't seem to get fixed over time. I guess not many people run a GUI desktop 
remotely.

messing with this system.
