If you want to reconnect to a lost X Session use freenx. It keeps the
session and compresses the X11 protocol and reduces the amount of
exchanged packets between client and server. This is extremely useful
with the higher network latency on colinux.

VNC is slow as the X11 Server runs on colinux and the picture gets
transfered to windows as group of pixels. It helps to reduce amount of
possible colors but that is not really a solution. Just try Xming with
xdmcp on Windows to see the difference.
