Great.

Thats one of the nice features of inetd (or xinetd): As soon as the 
connection ends, the processes are cleared.
If you want re-entrant vnc-sessions, you cannot use inetd or xinetd.

If you want these re-entrant vnc-sessions, you should not use inetd or 
xinetd. If you want re-entrant vnc-sesions, you can either sitck by the 
default method where users start vnc manually or you can add the Xvnc 
binary as an additional X11 server. I've done this in the past on HP-UX 
using the CDE display manager and on Redhat (7.x) using gnome or kde. 
Scan the mail archive or vnc-websites for details.
