I use my home computer (running Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) with gnome 2.16.1) frequently from work and elsewhere via x11vnc 0.8.2.  It works fine, although a bit slow.  I am, however, concerned about all my actions showing on-screen at home.  I would be much more comfortable with this solution if I was able to keep my home screen blank and locked while interacting remotely.  All the advice I've been able to find points to using another X session on the home machine, but I would very much like to use my root console.  Do any of you have a solution or suggestions on where to look?
