VNC will give you something like that but it's not X. With X you run
server on your local box and accept connections from remote X
applications. The beauty of it is that you can run many remote
graphical applications from different machines within single X session
on your local box. And you don't overload your remote box with all
possible X sessions.

On the other hand, for a terminal based session, look at screen, I'm
using it all the time.
