So this I realize is perhaps not a XBMC question as XBMC is behaving exactly as expected but maybe someone has done something similar to this and can help me.
I have a HTPC setup with Ubuntu 10.04 connected to my TV. It's setup to launch XBMC automatically on startup but I also have nzbget and transmission setup -- life is peachy! But I do have to do some things occassionally that require me to remote in via VNC but because XBMC is running in fullscreen I have to exit it before I can interact with the desktop.
So my actual question: can I setup a "virtual" monitor that I can VNC into (and interact with the ubuntu desktop) while XBMC is running and displaying out to the TV?
