Not at all: xinetd has killed this vnc session. That's one of the nice 
features of xinetd. On the other hand, even if you kan manage to keep 
the session, it is verry hard to find since it is definitly not running 
on the port you started the session. xinetd moves the communication to 
an other port (in the free range).

With xinetd, you connect ot a port number. It is xinetd that moves the 
communication to an other port number and start xvnc.

btw: I do hope you did not use the command `vncserver` in the xinetd 
configuration, vncserver is a script that starts Xvnc with nice options. 
For xinetd, you need other options and some should not be used.

That's true. Even if the session is still running, a second connecton to 
it will start a new vnc-session, you cannot connect to the previous one.

Yes: add Xvnc as an other X11-server in your sesion-manager. This will 
start the vnc server as soon as the machine starts, just like the 
graphical display on the console. It even restarts the vnc-session if it 
happens to be closed.
