One way to accomplish a similar behavior is to make your VNC session your main session. Then, when you login from the console, just connect to the VNC server there. Or remotely. If setup to enable sharing, it essentially accomplishes the same thing.

Just realized I didn't fully answer your question. If you want vnc server on linux to act like vnc server for windows then the answer is no. From what I've read in the past the vnc server for linux is only a session. It doesn't actually control your display like pcanywhere (or vnc server for windoze). There "may" be a way around this but it's probably some obscure detail I haven't found. Might want to try their web site. Perhaps they have a mail list that can answer this more fully.
