Let's consider a scenario. You've got a user of your software who's struggling with how to do something. You know if you were there, you could show them very quickly, but trying to explain via telephone or email is proving really difficult. Or perhaps you need to interact with a remote display for some other reason, such as running graphical software on the remote machine with the option to detach from the session with the software still running, and be able to pick it up again when you're in front of the machine. You also might have left some software or website open on your screen and decide you need to close it. All of these scenarios could be challenging to you, linux being a multi-user operating system and all. It's designed to allow multiple users access to the machine without running into each other, but what if you want to run into each other?
