Ah, what you want is remote framebuffer support.
kde-base/krfb will do the trick, and I know there is a gnome equivalent
(but I don't know what it is called). It uses vnc, and it essentially
runs as a daemon if you configure it correctly.
I'm not sure where it is, but I'm guessing somewhere in the gnome
control panel you can enable it. Then you can connect to display :0 and
see whatever is on the console. Note that I'm not sure if you'll see
anything using direct hardware rendering (like mplayer-using-xv/etc).
And as you expect it is a bit slow.
