Is there a utility that will allow you to take control of the current Linux
desktop from a remote machine? This is the way VNC works in windows. Open
VNC on a remote machine and you see the exact same thing you see on the local
monitor, including any running programs. Under Linux, however, VNC (at least
the versions I've tried) opens up a new desktop which is separate from the
currently running desktop. This is a neat and useful tool, but it's not what
I need. Are there, perhaps, any VNC app which offers this feature under
Linux? Or some other way to do it? If it all possible, it needs to be OS
independent (take control of a Linux server frrom a client running on Windows
and vice versa.)

x11-misc/x11vnc should do what you want.

In Gnome, it's called Vino. This option is also available in VNC 4.0
IIRC. (but Vino surely does it)

The wiki thing is a useful tool if you search for things on it. It may
not have everything, but it did have what you were lookin for.

As stated before, x11vnc is by far the easiest system to set this up with.
When you have an x session running, you can run x11vnc (that's all you need
to type) and then connect from anywhere. You can even run the command over
an ssh connection. My favorite way of using this is through putty, just
forward local port 5900 to the remote host, login to the remote host, start
up x11vnc and then run a vncviewer connected to localhost:0, works great.

You can also make the current KDE desktop available from Control
Centre/Internet & Network/Desktop Sharing.
