Did you try Xspice? Just replace Xorg by Xspice and you will have remote 
access using a Spice client. AFAIK it is not possible to have local and 
remote access at the same time (a la teamviewer). Unfortunately Xspice 
seemed to have memory allocation problems (memory leak?) that caused it 
to crash every couple of days of heavy desktop usage. In a gigabit LAN, 
the standard X protocol (eg., using XDMCP) works definitely better than 
Spice, even full-screen video plays smoothly (using the xv extension?). 
The major drawback of X protocol (compared to Spice) is that the session 
ends when closing connection. Also, the X protocol requires very fast 
network. I don't know how Spice performs with slow networks, never tried 
that.
