VNC On Logon Screen + Reboot In Another OS

Anyone got any idea how to make VNC start at the login screen?

Here is the situation:
We have a remote computer connected via a VPN, it has Fedora Core 4 and Windows 2003 dual boot, we need to be able to access this remotely over the VPN using SSH and VNC (the VNC that comes with Fedora) and the remote desktop thing that comes with windows, all of that is setup and works...BUT, we need to be sure that we can reboot the machine and get back on via VNC which has two problems:

1. Once the Fedora login screen comes up, VNC is not accepting connections (SSH does) so we can't login remotely via VNC. I've tried adding things to /etc/sysconf/vncservers and /etc/rc.d/rc.local that I've seen on other sites but it hasn't worked I've also set the vncserver service to start with chkconfig

2. How can we reboot in a specific operating system without changing the default in Grub? I recently installed SuSE 10.1 on a machine at home and that has an option of restarting in windows on the shutdown/restart/logoff dialog
