VNC Server + Energy Saver on Macintosh?

The latest (internal) version of ChromiVNC can "survive" a PowerBook 
sleep, and should also handle a desktop machine sleeping as well.  I 
don't recall whether the published version also has this feature, 
from your description it sounds like it doesn't.

I've found a little time to work on ChromiVNC recently, so I might be 
able to make a new release shortly.
