Reasons can be
 
* someone is running Linux and requesting support from you
 
* you want to train a user how to work with a specific gui software
 
* you have worked on your desktop computer and want to continue work in front of the TV (Simpsons coming) on your notebook
 
 
 
 
 
So let's assume you want to access an X11 session of ''user'' on the computer ''user-desktop''.
 
Go to your computer and do:
 
you@your-computer $ ssh user@user-desktop
 
user@user-desktop $ export DISPLAY=:0
 
user@user-desktop $ x11vnc
 
The program x11vnc tells you where to connect. The line will read like
 
The VNC desktop is:      user-desktop:0
 
Connect from your notebook:
 
you@your-computer $ vncviewer user-desktop:0
