Apps :: VNC

Well, I'm tryin' to do a remote-control VNC operation from my school to my house (they have extremely lousy net support). So I set up VNC to run, then leave, and then I have no control of my desktop on this end while the server is running - can't click, can't anything. So I close down X, kill VNC, restart X and then can control my desktop again. My second problem is that it sends me to the wrong desktop - a desktop that has no icons, no running apps that I have going, just a blank screen with my little control bar at the bottom and the ability to run an xterm, and that's it. If I wanted that, I would've just SSH'd into my machine.

Anyone know how to set up a VNC server so that you can control the main desktop ?
