When the issue is happening in the VNC session, are any errors logged in
the VNC log? I know Gnome used to have issues running two sessions as one
user (to the point of not starting, IIRC). I'm not sure of the current
state of affairs.
The errors are GNOME pop-up dialogs that give me the option of removing the
applet, or letting it continue.
I'm positive it is a GNOME thing, so perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned
VNC in the first place... It just seems to me that many people would find
themselves in this situation (many who use VNC, that is...).

This is probably the best course of action if you aren't willing to share
the :0 display.
It's awful... :-(
