That's what I thought.
Why? So we can limit certain functionality over a remote connection. We do this for Terminal Services connections on Windows and I was asked about doing it for Mac.
Thanx,

Why? What are you trying to achieve?
I doubt it though! AFAIK you can only have a remote console (i.e.
screen sharing) so the app isn't running in the VNC session, it's
running normally on the host computer.
Your question only makes sense in the context of "Terminal Services"
style connections which aren't available on Snow Leopard [Server]
without third party software.
Even if you could know if a user is currently connected via VNC/RDP
and even if you could tell whether the remote or local session (or
both at the same time) are currently controlling the computer that
still wouldn't take into consideration other sharing solutions (e.g.
LogMeIn).
