VNC clients send a flag called 'shared-flag' in their init message. 
>From  http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf  , section 6.3.1 ClientInit:
Shared-flag is non-zero (true) if the server should try to share the 
desktop by leaving
other clients connected, zero (false) if it should give exclusive access 
to this client by
disconnecting all other clients.
