Solution: do not use the default Ubuntu VNC/Remote Desktiop client Vinagre. Install & use xtightvncviewer.

Close the connection from the PC and x11vnc will shut down on the N900.

I think "we" should really get behind X forwarding, or rdesktop / Xming and get rid of VNC. Seriously, VNC maybe as cross-platform solution has it's nice, but on NATIVE Linux to Linux!? I can access X displays under Windows with Xming and similar servers!

While fooling around with VNC viewer clients for Ubuntu, I found that Remmina starts out OK, then the remote cursor disappears. xtightvncviewer is the only one so far that has consistent performance.
I also would like to see X-forwarding fixed. It would open a lot of possibilities for use of the N900 driving in-car information systems, etc.

Has anyone been able to see a cursor when using Ubuntu's VNC client?
UltraVNC on an Windows box shows a dot where the cursor would be on the N900 screen, but apparently the version of Vinagre on Ubuntu only shows the cursor on the server's screen - which is no cursor on a touch screen device.
Code:
x11vnc -cursor X

Further to this, if you want to run the icon from the apps menu without having to use XTerminal, you can edit line 6 of:
/usr/share/applications/hildon/x11vnc.desktop
to read
You will require root. I used Vi editor to edit the x11vnc.desktop file.
/usr/share/applications/hildon/x11vnc.desktop
to read
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/x11vnc -cursor X
